Westland TT 300
I have been doing helicopters for 25 years in the USA and I have to say the Westland TT300 is my Favorite. Remember the Jet Ranger through blades, transmissions, straps, caught fire and everything else and eventually evolved into a safe machine. Every scheduled helicopter operation ended in tears in the USA, for Airline style transport i.e. Chicago, L.A. N.Y. Tours however did well. An aluminum structure, Berp blades, solid G.E. engines, new avionics and a little composites would have made this 150 knot 500 mile the King of the Sea! It would be crashworthy, economical and High performance, Reliable! My hats off to you guys with the vision. The Five Bladed Machine needs to be built! My opinion is that composite helicopters never have happy endings when they/you drag their heels , you usually end up loosing some teeth.
