And Sikorsky says.
“Sikorsky and our All-American supplier team are disappointed … Everyone at Sikorsky Aircraft, as well as our partner companies across the country….

It’s so funny to read this… The only parts produced in US by Sikorsky are kinematics parts (rotor, transmission shaft, blades, etc). The all airframe is being produced by third companies all over the world (Embraer, AIDC,Gamesa, etc), as risk-shearing partners, that means they asume design and manufacturing of their part the project.
US101 airframe is supposed to be produced within lockheed facilities. Wich of the two projects has more “made in US” or even “designed in US” parts? Not so easy to answer…

Luxembourg has ordered one A400M. Sounds strange as the country has no air force. I suppose that it will be operated by the Belgian air force.
Buying A400M gives Luxembourg rights to industrial offsets, as currently occuring with South Africa. AFAK, the country is not involved in the program. They may have reach an economical agreement with Belgium to give them back industrial participation. Anybody knows??? :confused:

Canada seems to have been forced to buy H-92:

“The Canadian federal government concealed the fact last week that it was forced to buy Sikorsky helicopters to replace its fleet of Sea Kings after the only other competitor in the $5-billion race had been previously disqualified on technical grounds, sources say.”
