And have they addressed any of the 139's shortcomings in the SAR role - small cabin, high nose up hover attitude, poor ground clearance etc?
Or is this just another helicopter designed to look good and go fast that will be bastardised into a SAR role rather than actually designed for the job?
About the AW 139.

but Crab, look at that 360º radar!
Which is on an EC 175.
