The sikorsky models rotor is considerably higher than a Blackhawk. Havnt seen a vid of how the rotor folds so dont know
wasn't referring to height, but they were designed with transport in mind. I've read quite a bit on these, but can't point to any particular article backing this up.

V-22 suffers from high disk loading, I'm sure the 280 will as well.
Add that to the difficulty of mounting door guns.
SB-1 shares the T55 with the CH-47, which already has a 715 variant under development.
Either design has its niche, but I honestly don't think either is capable of fleet replacement for the UH-60.
Heck, we still have 60-As flying.

And the UH-60 is so good, the Chinese have made their own copy, the Z-20. Claimed to be their own design but look at it.
Maybe we can get UH-60 parts on wish.com now.
I'm with Senator Rand Paul.
We need to provide Ukraine with weapons, but they need to pay us for them.
Friggin metric threads
This guy flew into our Jaycees airshow and WWII B-29 reunion in 1991. He was from Pratt and a Coast Guard H60 pilot. I don't know how he proposed this to his commander flying to a Kansas air show, from Florida but he did.
His arrival was totally unexpected and a good static display as an attraction. We also got to meet his folks.
