I was pointing to the schedule slippage and the fact most experimental programs have delays for various reasons......and the V-22 certainly qualified for those criticisms!
Acting as though the S-97 should be immune at this very early stage seems a bit unfair.
I seem to recall the V-22 Program almost being ended due to some very serious deficiencies.....that killed peoplle and that was well into the program.
The 97 has a long way to go yet to get to either point.
