It's alright for you guys - we're still dealing with slip ring and bladefold problems on the Sea King


Is this an admission by Sikorsky that the contra-rotating masses in the fuselage on the S-92 don't actually work very well?

The new solution seems to be a combination of the active vibration setup on the EH101/Merlin and the MRHVA added to the Lynx many years ago (known as the bonk because the serviceability test was to hit it to see if it made the right noise) - not really much new technology there, especially with the use of slip rings as well! Did someone from Westlands leave to go and work for Sikorsky??????
