Question for Nick....

Maybe you can answer this question for me:

Why did Sikorsky choose an "improved planetary" MRGB configuration over the theoretically superior "torque split" design (that they did extensive trade studies on) for the 53K MRGB?

Was it a customer decision? Or did Sikorsky's management lose their backbone?

TIA for your response.
