industry insider,
You seem to have a good knowledge of the S-92 TR drivetrain. Another poster mentioned that the S-92 TR drivetrain components could be retrofit to the H-60 model. Is this true?
You mentioned that the S-92 TR drive intermediate gearbox would need to be upgraded to get the 1200 lb (?) increase in GW. What needs upgrading? Is it bearings, gears, lube system, housings, couplings, or some combination of these?
Also, do you have any idea how much margin (if any) there is in the rest of the S-92 TR drivetrain components with the CT7-8A's?
I'd appreciate any insight you could provide. TIA.

Its gear coating only for the IGB gears themselves I believe. I think that the H60 and S-92 have tended to diverge rather than converge in component terms. The CT7-8A engine itself will probably be the limiting factor for any more IGW programs but there is more engine power on the way with another variant coming.

industry insider,
Thanks for the info.
I believe CT7-8C was designed to go into the H-60 model at some future point, but I was told that the H-60 MRGB is already torque limited under some conditions with the CT7-8A.
