From the looks of the cabin config pictures, it looks like they have pushed the back row of seats into the area where the fuel cells are on the 139, so they now have 4 rows in the cabin. Makes me wonder where the fuel is now?
I remember asking about fixing the tyre wear problem on the 139 a few years back, and was told they wouldn't because they were working on a new main gear for the 149, and were looking at transferring it across to the 139, solving the problem. We'll see if that will happen!
I hope they certify it and sell to civil operators.
Would basically be an AW139B. No more 6 foot long exhaust either!!
