If EC can break shafts at will then it also suggests that EC can avoid breaking shafts, or at least on demand. Therefore one might suggest that whatever they do to break them at will is something to avoid....?
Yes but I don't think they mean on demand by operating technique, rather by the issues of pre-stress and corrosion or some other factors beyond pilot control. It's not that easy to break the shaft, we managed over 100,000 hrs without being able to do so.
SAS , if you want to take the line that the S92 is superior to the 225 simply because its not currently grounded, that is your prerogative but not a helpful one because by the same measure that means an R22 is equally superior to the EC225.
