will the AW149 become the B model 139?
Looking at the specs and articles on the 149 it says its an enlarged upgraded 139 with CT-7 engines, as the 149 will be a military Helo is there any word of filtering all these upgrades back down to the 139 say as a B model, the CT7 fit should be good ,an engine that actualy has the intake at the front and exhaust at the back unlike the bloody horrible fit of the PT6 with the exhaust duct down the middle of both engines in the 139 now and no oil coolers and the Cof G should move fwd a bit with the CT7 fit, with all the 149 upgrades I hope the 139 can reach its true potential because from an engineers point of view its not in the class of the S-92 or even the AS332 for maintainability and I hope it can be.
