Increased RoA?
Crab,
I also smell a rat. The max speed is quoted as 150kt and the endurances are quoted as at best cruise (2h43m) and best endurance (3h20m) both of which will be <150kts.
Even assuming 150kt throughout, and still air, that gives RoA of 250nm at best endurance and 204nm at best cruise. The optimistic top end of 250nm is hardly a massive improvement on the Sea King Mk3.
Could somebody in the know confirm our suspicions and provide real numbers as opposed to MCA hype?
