Henri,

Still no news on PT2 having flown in China? Airbus certainly took the hard road in certifying with only two prototypes, vs. five for the AW189/AW149.

Amusing to see an unnamed 'Airbus Helicopters official' break rank recently and express frustration with the Chinese partner:

Quote:

"An Airbus Helicopters official recently attributed part of the EC175's delay to problems with Avicopter, which has a 50-percent stake in the program."

I/C
