FH.....you really do " lead with your chin " !!!
You have made so many speculations on a helicopter you seem to know very little about ...and pass them off as fact . Just because you shout loudest doesn't make you correct . Also you have picked on so many aspects I can assume that by law of averages you will get lucky on one of them ..( a blind squirrel will still find the odd nut ...!!)
You are not only wrong on your speed , you also quote me incorrectly .... I said 125kn NOT 135kn which I think very unlikely . The seats are all wrong as well aren't they ? Now you are also an expert seat maker to boot !!!
Just chill out and accept that Bell possibly , their engineers , their test pilots ....possibly know more about this than you and I ....!!! And don't forget that IF it gets certified , and IF it can cruise at 125kn , if it is delivered for $1.075m .....then you WILL eat your hat !!
Ps ....I'm not an armchair warrior and certainly don't hide behind anything ....I think I would be easy to find ......!!!
