It looks like the status quo will return The KC-X will go to Boeing with the KC-767 as Airbus have pulled out, CSAR-X went to Sikorsky with more later model Black Hawks Based on UH-60M and MH-60M, The army get more F model Chinooks and the VXX will go to the S-92 as the AW-101 has been pushed aside and everyone is happy , on a side note if the VXX is the S-92 watch how quick the run dry xmssn , 5 blade head and increase gross weight to 13.5 tonne are rolled out which will be good news for the civil market with role ons from the VXX program, S-92 B model anyone.
