So what is actually happening just now? we have information that you know who are now working on a fix for the military version of the 92, MH92 as it seemingly is not up to the required contract specifications, would seem someone has posed the questioned “what happens when it has no oil or no oil pressure and How long have I got to get my arse on the deck’’, seems around 5-10 minutes if you are lucky, is not the answer expected.
On the other side of the fence the same you know who company are saying the S92 met all of the required certification standards and had no requirement to have proved that a run dry time was needed. The little bypass valve did the trick and we proved it, pity they did not add one to bypass the rather naff oil filter design. By the way has any one asked what happens if the filter is placed in the housing the wrong way round?
So a question or two
1. Is our favourite you know who company working on a military fix and why? Apart from the obvious one.
2. Is the failing on the S92 also subject to the same urgency to fix?
I suspect the answer to question two is??
