but when the next S-92 model B comes out it most likely have 5 main wings and be smooth as silk, increased MTOM, more cruise and will most likely leave the 225 behind in comparison
Pure speculation of course, but I am inclined to agree that its difficult to see where the Super Puma family should go next when the EC225 is such a good product. At the moment EC are concentrating on the EC175, which will of course leave the S76D (30 years old and barely changed in the mean time) in the dust... (Dave, now see what we have started!)
It would be nice to think that EC will then go on to develop an EC225 replacement with a larger fuselage (taller cabin, bigger cockpit please!) whilst keeping the excellent pilot interface of the 225 - ie the Mark 3 they were going to develop 15 yrs ago!
