Let's take another look at the sentence which is causing concern:
.. up in the category of the Skycrane and Chinook as a helicopter that’ll do everything extraordinarily well ..
This narrative may have been delivered in grade one Australian-speak but, even so, is still decipherable.
An interpretation would read:
The Bell 214B is in the same category as the Skycrane and Chinook in that, in the same way as the Skycrane and Chinook do their jobs well, this helicopter also performs it's tasks capably.
Hope this helps!
