Nick,

At the Pratt and Whitney Plant in Florida where you did the testing of the S-69 nee ABC....and after the US Army flight test of the Tilt Rotor...now the V-22 and the ABC at Fort Rucker...did not the prevailing attitude there amongst the Sikorsky Test unit indicate to us that the ABC was a better choice than the Tilt Rotor? My memory tells me that the ABC Test guys felt they had better numbers than the Tilt Rotor and were let down about the results of the competition. Or is my senility playing tricks on me?
