What surface speed should I use to mill 440 steel, hardened to RW 48?
Cutting depth is .05 per pass.

Q: What overseas will be? Components or parts of the helicopter -- fuselage? Any sense of that?

MR. LAUX: The plan is to build initially the primary fuselage components and
the main rotor blades in England. We're going to build the dynamic components,
including the bulk of the gear boxes, in Italy.

Q: There were about $77 million given to each team for risk- reduction efforts
throughout last year. What did that money go to? What exactly were these risk-reduction efforts?

MR. YOUNG: I'll let Tom offer details.

MR. LAUX: The bulk of the money was to identify those key technologies which are
crucial to identifying and, obviously, mitigating the risk in going forward. So there were a
number of trade studies that were done. In addition, as Secretary Young pointed out, we did
build high-fidelity mock-ups -- obviously, the cabin is an essential part of this procurement.
We did continued trade studies for the engine development and the main rotor blade developments,
the dynamic components required for the increased performance between this aircraft and
what each offer is currently marketing.

AGUSTAWESTLAND EH101 MEDIUM-LIFT HELICOPTER, ITALY / UNITED KINGDOM
The EH101 medium lift helicopter is manufactured by AgustaWestland International Ltd
(formerly E.H. Industries), a joint venture company formed by Agusta of Italy and the British
company GKN Westland.

DESIGN
The rugged modular structure incorporates crashworthy and damage-tolerant features,
including a five blade main rotor, four blade teetering rotor and main lift frame which
includes multiple primary and secondary load paths. The fuselage is mainly of aluminium-lithium
construction. The aerodynamic rotor blades are constructed from carbon/glass with
nomex honeycomb and rohacell foam. Active vibration control of the structural response
(ACSR) uses a vibration cancelling technique.
