Boeing’s proposal would transfer all intellectual property, data and production rights for the AW101 from Italy and the UK to the USA, the company says.

Err, I don't think so. There's some seriously trick kit on the RN spec palmtrees that won't be sold to the US. Westland have been very protective of it - some of the stories of how they have fobbed off spies from Boeing are cracking.

RN spec palmtrees

What has that got to do with Marine One?? Nothing.

Everything. It's intrinsically the same helicopter.

Eh...? WTF are you on about...?

Article says "US will get all the IP for the AW101"

I say "No they won't. There's some trick stuff on the RN spec machines they definitely will not get".

The AW101 moniker represents all variants. The US will not get the IP for all variants, particularly that of the RN spec contraption.

I don't see what's so hard to understand.

Confused...? You will be
