Flug,
Possibly a typo, but the Arriel is of course already produced locally in the USA (for the Lakota program). No suggestion yet that TMUSA will build the 505's Arrius engine Stateside.
As suggested previously, Bell may insist on a PBH type engine support approach to offset operator concerns. Maybe longbox knows.
It'd be interesting to know what deal Turbomeca offered Bell on the Arrius in order to meet its price target. I hear that RR has been looking to renegotiate its cut-price RR300 deal with Robinson, and Turbomeca will probably find itself in a similar position with the 505.
