Is it me or are the stats 'skewed' towards the S-92, and only compared against the Navy Sea King variants. Surely the MK 3/3a has a greater radius of action than the S-92, and does the 92's radius include at least 20 mins on task for winching etc (or even longer for searches now that top cover MPA is no longer available). There also seem to be other anomalies when looking on Sikorsky's own website.
I have nothing against the new aircraft (in fact I would quite like to fly it) but comparing it with the oldest and heaviest aircraft makes the arguments a little strange - but no doubt ideal to 'sell' it to the politicians, press and public who do not ask 'searching' questions.
