(& lost to EDS - i.e., the Lacota). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linc Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 ARH is not LUH. The UH-72A is the EC 145 winner of the LUH program. The ARH-70A is the Bell 407 (technically, it will soon be the 417) winner of the ARH program. Bell initially was going to offer the 210 (when it became certified) for the LUH, but felt pressure to offer a dual engine model because all of the competition was dual engined.
