“The US101 airframe is the best medium lift helicopter in the world. And quite frankly Sikorsky does not have the intellectual bandwidth to integrate the complex systems that need to go into the Presidents new transport. They are an airframer, not an integrator.”
That’s the most convoluted bullsh*t I’ve read all day. Marine One is nothing but a helicopter with some extra electronics for the President. It’s not the Space Shuttle or something.
Thank you ... that was my point. And that is why Sikorsky lost the contract, because that is what they proposed for a solution ... nothing but a helicopter with some electronics.
