Hot new helicopter/rotorcraft news

Good point. I thought the idea was a “primary” helicopter to get through the first 40 hours or so with the more complex stuff done in something like the Lakota. What can I say, I’m confused. Maybe we should be discussing who has the most powerful Senator?

Are we talking about an intro to helicopters (COPT-R), or a complete Advanced Helicopter Training System (HTs)? The HT battle is already lost. We are 100% committed to the AW-119s for the foreseeable future, for better or worse. We can't put that Genie back in the bottle. That's an incredibly expensive aircraft to keep in the air, which means that cost becomes a huge factor if we're going to have something like a primary helicopter. By the way, no one is suggesting at all that we go with the R-44. That's not even on the table. The Army IFT is all R-66s.
