  • In January, Leonardo won the hotly contested U.S. Navy Advanced Helicopter Training System program, a year after the service formally announced a request for proposals. The OEM entered the TH-119, a variant of its AW119 single-engine light helicopter, which is built at the company’s Philadelphia facility.

    Airbus didn't like losing that 600 million dollar government contract.

    Airbus twin engine over AW single engine would be less cost effective in the long run I would think?

      It’s a no brainer, I can’t believe the Army got the Lakota forced on them. A multi-engine helicopter is a not only a waste of money but it’s not even a good helicopter for the job. How do you do primary flight training in a helicopter that you can’t do practice autorotations in?

      Everything that comes out of the US is not all that. There are other competitors. Get used to it! I flew in the TH-57 (not a pilot) and this new helo will be a great new trainer.

      This is actually a bargain deal for a government procurement. It’s a good choice.

      @@wayneyd2 A 505 doesn’t have close to the performance of a Thrasher and installing those avionics in a 505 would cost even more performance and loss of useful load. Plus, the Thrasher is actually IFR certified which is important since Osprey pilots will be trained in this aircraft. The Thrasher has much more capability at a reasonable cost.
