CH-148 Cyclone Progress

I doubt Sik/LocMart wants to do a folding tail A model.

I believe they would require a lot more airframes to make it viable (50 ish).

I could be totally wrong but I think that COA was discussed and thrown out as not beneficial to either party due to costs.

I can see that.

I’m just worried the end result will be the death of Canadian MH.
 
Is there a historical example, say post 1969, of the Department of Defense and the CAF admitting that a medium or large scale equipment program had failed post delivery and then scrapped the program and changed directions?
I think Carney would have no problem driving the rhetorical bus over Liberal PMs past (again - e.g. consumer carbon tax) if this ever escalates to the PM's office.
 
Progress?
Canadian Maritime Helicopter Program (CMHP) – The Company is in ongoing discussions with the customer regarding a potential restructure to certain contractual terms and conditions and to expand the scope of work that would be beneficial to both parties. Communications with the customer during the second quarter of 2025 led to subsequent decisions made by the Company to focus on providing additional mission capabilities, enhanced logistical support, fleet life extension, and revised expectations regarding flight hours. As a result of revised cost and sales estimates for the program during the second quarter of 2025, the Company recognized additional pretax losses of $570 million on this program in RMS' financial results.
