Isn't intriguing that despite the helo SAR role being in worldwide demand, there has yet to be a design created for the role from the drawing board onwards........all are adaptations (some good but none ideal) from designs created for other roles....
Isn't time we had a dedicated design (or designs) --one for long range and/or high capacity missions and another fro dedicated short range stuff such as beach/cliff and mountain jobs..both with all-weather capability too........
Expect the SAR-H choices might have been more interesting had such beasts existed.....
