Zitat:Cutillo stresses that while “we want to find something that works for both [companies]”, any programme “has to start from the requirements”.

Even agrees, adding: “Today we are not at the point where a decision has to be taken to the launch a new programme because our customers involved are not yet clear on what will be the final requirements.”

Indeed, it is as yet unclear what priority the NGRC programme will allocate to high speed versus other capabilities, with that decision to be taken by the summer.

In addition to the Racer-derived design, Airbus Helicopters also proposed an advanced conventional helicopter as part of its NGRC concept study submission.

And Even does not think “that high speed would be the only solution” for the replacement of all the current fleet, with the capability potentially being “more of a niche in one part of the market”.

But should the nations choose to proceed and can agree on a concept “I do not see why we would not be able to partner with Leonardo,” says Even.
