EH 101- US101 vielleicht auch bald ein Europäischer Export.

Despite it's somewhat protracted development programme, the EH 101 has emerged as one of the world's most capable medium-sized helicopters. Export orders are mounting steadily and a campaign to sell the helicopter to the US Armed Forces is now underway.

Bisher verkauft:
(?) Italienische, 66 Britische EH101, 14 Japanische EH101, 12 Portugiesische EH101, 16 Kanadische Comorant CH 149, 12 Dänische EH 101.

Potential candidates include the NH-90, which is politically handicapped by it's French and German 'old Europe' background; the S-92 again, which has lost every military competition it has entered (except for a distinctly dubious Irish Air Corps deal which was quickly cancelled), and the EH 101, which can offer three-engined safety, a full height cabin and the world's most effective active vibration damping system. Furthermore, Lockheed Martin is not used to coming second in a US military aircraft competitions.
Whatever the outcome of this particular competition, the EH 101/US 101, is well placed to continue winning further orders wherever there is a need for a world-class medium-sized helicopter.
