with 2 hours of fuel, you would have 1065 leftover. If the med interior weighs 150, that leaves you 915 for 4 people. A lot more than the EC135 I flew. |

And that's being generous, leaves a 315# pac. That is probably a median weight of pac that I carried, so that eliminates 50% of the population. |

Over 300 pounds. Maybe you specialize in infants and children, up to 18 years old. Some of those teens can push the 300# mark. Get real. |

Not intended for pilot plus 2 med crew plus patient. It'll be a as needed police or utility kit to fly pilot, 1 crew and patient. |

It took 50 year old technology and added a few recent innovations. But overall nothing close to revolutionary.

no helicopters are ever "revolutionary" but putting a 206 rotor on it just seemed so lazy |

Somewhat revolutionary, in their day. But their day was early 80's. Maybe the Comanche, Blackhawk, and Apache were a great step towards revolutionary, but they have had their day also. |

If the Italians could actually support their products they would be a much bigger player.
