I doubt a simple material change will suffice. However, when Sikorsky bow to the inevitable they need to publically prove that they can fulfill the 30 minute certification test and not the certification-lite test that was used by a poster here to claim they could run for 3 hours after an oil loss, patently a BS claim.
Sikorsky have lost an appeal in court:
Sikorsky loses appeal in Cougar crash dispute - Nfld. & Labrador - CBC News
Aviation manufacturer Sikorsky has lost another court challenge in its attempt to move a lawsuit over the fatal 2009 Cougar Helicopters crash to the U.S.
Sikorsky Aircraft Corp., which manufactured the S-92A chopper that crashed into the Atlantic Ocean in March 2009, has argued that a pending lawsuit should be heard in Connecticut, where the company is based.
In a new decision the Newfoundland and Labrador Court of Appeal has upheld a lower court decision that ruled that the case — in which Cougar Helicopters and an affiliate of insurer Lloyd's of London, are suing Sikorsky — can proceed in St. John's.
"It follows that the courts of this province have jurisdiction to decide Cougar's claim," a panel of three judges wrote.
Seventeen people died in the crash. The Transportation Safety Board of Canada said 16 inter-connected factors led to the disaster, including broken studs and catastrophic drop in oil pressure in the aircraft's gearbox.
Sikorsky reached a settlement in January 2010 with Robert Decker, the sole survivor of the crash, as well as the families of the deceased.
How unreasonable of a Canadian court to expect a case on the loss of a Canadian registered, Candian ownered, Canadian operated helicopter, being flown by Canadians, in Canadian airspace, on charter to Canadian companies, carrying Canadian passengers, from a Canadian airport to Canadian oil rigs to be held in Canada.
