Helicopter tender???? So we should see the results in 15-20 years????
"The ability to ditch an airplane in the Hudson does not qualify a pilot for a pay raise. The ability to get the pilots, with this ability, to work for 30% or 40% pay cuts qualifies those in management for millions in bonuses."

Well they just extended the Tutor to 2030... and it's already 50-55 years old - so, not surprised.

I mean in the face of it, Sikorsky's proposal makes sense. Common airframe, parts, maintenance etc. However it's not like they have a SAR version ready to go. Just like the Cyclone is the only military variant built. They want to design one for us and haven't even successfully delivered on the other yet.
