Heli

At least it worked on the bench. The S-92 failed miserably in an oil out test at exactly the same time it failed in the real world event. The difference is that
Sikorsky misled the operators and passengers about their "safety features" while Eurocopter's system worked and the only issue was a false alert which caused a few people to get wet and a round of drinks later.

Big difference.
