Im happy that the product future might be save. It turns out now, that most of the work will be transferred to Italy, for sure production. For me it is relatively sure also Louisana will not become the US production place.
Technically the project was standing still since I left. We will se whether under Leonardo the project will restart again. Im surprised that Kopter starts to change a lot and a lot of things back to the worse. And the worst thing is, that the investor of the project now sold its shares but still does not pay me for my shares.
In contrary Lynwood is quite busy in trying to destroy my life. And Andreas Löwenstein is playing dirty games together with them. There is a very dark side in this project. My concern is, that this is a bad foundation to build on it. I had good reasons to leave and it does not look Leonardo settle the the past which is not a good sign.

Why are they swapping from the proven Honeywell HTS900 engine to the newer Safran Arriel 1K engine?
Wasn't Kopter almost finished its flight tests years ago with no problems with the engine, or maybe its about the software and FADEC panel integration that Safran offer something better?

Reason is simple, arriel has bigger and newer in service market share why HTS900 failed to gain traction. It is also SafranHE's mass production model with a clear development plan while Honeywell is known for considering whether to kill it or let it dry.
