Amazing that such a program can become so goofed up because people don't do their homework beforehand. The MRH-90 is being managed as a Project of Concern.
From The Dew Line:
So, how many NH90 variants are there out there? Of course, we all know that the answer is two: the TTH (tactical transport helicopter) and the NFH (clunkily-named NATO frigate helicopter). Wrong, said our presenter. In fact, 20 individual variants exist, with this sprawling further down to comprise some 38 sub-variants. Not bad going, when you consider that NHI has so far delivered 161 of the twin-engined type to 12 operator nations.
But why does this matter? There’s limited cross-over between approval processes between the variants, meaning lots of flight-testing and certification items have to be ticked off multiple times. And with around 400 service bulletins issued for the type to date, each affecting perhaps several sub-variants, it goes some way to explaining why everything seems to take quite a long time to achieve.
