You will probably see the 5-bladed S-92B or something to that effect up for the rebid on VXX. The design has been under development for years.

Where do we suppose all the CH-148 contract extension dollars were going?

I also heard rumors that there is a serious cabin-beefing mod design for the 92 in work, chasing the load path from the XMSN all the way down back through the station frames with external straps and whatnot.

I guess the cracking isnt limited to the gearbox feet and has made its way into the airframe as well if they really are going through something this involved.
