Hey emergov,

you seem a wealth of knowledge of all things MRH-90. I dont want to go on about the tendering process as that is been bashed to death and we are stuck with what we signed up to pay for. However, I have always wondered about the crashworthiness of the MRH-90. The Black Hawk is an excellent aircraft with respect to survivability (ask anyone involved in Aust Army Aviation for the last 20 years). The majority of the impact attenuation is due to the fixed undercarriage and the seats. With the retractable wheels of the 90, what is the survivability claimed to be?
