From the above referenced:
“The neighborhood of the root cause is the complex interaction between the ground, the landing gear, the flight control system and the associated pilot interactions,” he told a few reporters in a phone interview. “If you are familiar with the rotorcraft industry, this is a well-documented complex set of interaction as airplanes transition from operations on the ground to operations in flight.”
So pretty close to what caused them to crash the first XH-59A. It appears #1 is basically finished also like the 59A. You would think Sikorsky would have focused on near ground handling as a lesson learned from the previous program.
Does not bode well for this concept if you can not safely lift to a hover.
