No US money for the CT7-8E on the 101

Period

It was funded as a private venture by AW along with the new screens etc (if it had been a US Govt sourced programme the option to offer it to other customers would have been capable of being held hostage by US interests, not a clever thing to do commercially. If Sikorsky did that with US Govt money that's their choice, AW didnt)

This was part of the normal development of an aircraft design.

The Dow Jones report says nothing new, as stated before the 2 stage incremental approach was always part of the VXX programme (regardless of the winner)

Thanx to all the people now posting to support my views (if you notice I have never denigrated the S92 just defended the untruths posted about the 101 here)
