Nice development of the AW139. 18 troops plus the two pilots. Did they stretch the cabin lengthways for an extra row or sideways to get six across?
New transmission and drivetrain must mean the current AW139 drivetrain is at its limit, so 6800kg is where it ends. The 149 takes it to 8000kg. GE engines finally, I wonder if the fuel burn will be the same as the P&W while carrying the extra ton.
Turkish mountain work qualification should guarantee good Cat A performance at sea level.
Mini Puma, only one seat less than what the S92 and EC225 offer. If they can bring it to the civilian world for less than 20mil they'll clean up the offshore market.
