Just install a landing pad on the south lawn for Pete's sake!

[@HankyInTheTanky]

Right like who cares if it doesn’t make the lawn look “pretty” if you need a new helicopter for the president that’s more important than some grass

[@Paul-rd5pw]

And they are entrusted to run the country. Good grief

[@ToryFromDC]

They host a lot of events on that south lawn just wouldn’t work out.

[@chopperimc]

@@ToryFromDC What events pose an issue without having grass?

[@ToryFromDC]

@ Considering how big and in the way the helipad will be. All of them.

[@curtisfischer732]

I think a very simple solution to this whole thing would be to simply, replace the grass on the lawn with high-end astroturf. And then whatever underlayment is necessary to protect it from the helicopters down wash. This could be easily done without changing the aesthetic of the lawn itself, and would also allow for the helicopter to land quite easily.

[@jimmorris1002]

Now, that would have made too much COMMON SENSE and save America many SCENTS.

[@joebeach7759]

As far as the government is concerned, if sense were common, it wouldn't have a name. I'm sure they could develop an artificial turf that would work, especially since they spend so much on other worthless projects (I worked for the government for 33 years), or they could just build a helipad. Every government building or facility the president flies to outside of the DC beltway has one. Maybe they can even paint it green to match the grass. After the BILLIONS they have spent on this new helicopter program, that would be a drop in the bucket.

[@ernie5229]

I'm not sure how well plastic holds up to high-temp jet exhaust!

[@joebeach7759]

@ernie5229 With the money the government spends, I'm sure they could develop something. Again, pave it and paint it green. It's only cost 30 billion so far, and they can't land it in the 1 place that's crucial to its operation? That's the government for you. That's like building a fighter for the Navy, and it can't land on a carrier. Surely, someone thought of this before they tried it. They really can't be that stupid.

[@mikehill8584]

While saving we the tax payers million of dollars on redesigning a perfectly good helicopter. Who's ready for DOGE...? Pour a 1000 pad of Crete down paint it green and call it. Or the turf works even better. Both very cheap by comparison.

[@neilwallace6756]

This is disinformation. The original replacement was cancelled, a variant of the Agusta Westland EH-101 not this Sikorski variant.

[@cobracommander.1958]

😂lol.....

[@JamesSnell-rc5xt]

Disinformation, or perhaps just an error?

[@jimziemer474]

I can’t believe the United States would use a Sikorsky.

[@neilwallace6756]

​@@jimziemer474They were going to get The Lockheed Marten/ Augusta Westland VH-71Kestrel but due to cost overruns it was canceled with the nineth aircraft delivered.The Kestrel was a much more capable helicopter. Unfortunately they're getting another Sikorski Product.The nine helicopters were sold to Canada for pennies on the dollar($164 million dollars) for spare parts to support their rescue CH-149A Comorants.

[@akulahawk]

The Osprey crash cited did NOT have to be a deadly crash. Significant pilot error was involved, in particular the PIC ignored the MULTIPLE warnings the aircraft gave regarding metallic debris in one of the rotor clutch assemblies. When that assembly finally failed, it caused the aircraft to crash. Had the PIC actually heeded the warnings, the aircraft would NOT have crashed, there would NOT have been any loss of life, and the aircraft could have been relatively easily repaired and back in service. Instead, the PIC did precisely and repeatedly the WRONG thing and everyone onboard died along with loss of the aircraft. The V-22 concept does work quite well overall. In fact, the US Navy chose a variant of it to be their replacement for the COD mission.

[@bryanrussell6679]

The V22's engine exhaust would be even more damaging to the grass. Just build a helipad and be done with it.

[@henrysehne8338]

Why don’t they construct a helipad ? Hospitals have them, businesses have them, police etc.

[@AnTiThesis-HaT-HoT]

You should read the crash report, it was pilot error through and through, they repeatedly ignored oil warning light because it was inconvenient and pushed on until it gave out.

[@AA-xo9uw]

"oil warning light"(sic) Incorrect. PRGB chip detector not an "oil warning light".

[@Howrider65]

They can use the old helicopter they are still in good shape. With your and KZbin ads this was a pain to watch.

[@rorygielarowski8972]

How about a Helicopter Pad? Give me 20 Million! I will build it.

[@rking8385]

Just build a helipad on the lawn! dam the grass 🤔

[@skip031890]

The President is supposed to be selling law and order. Not democracy. That was funny. 😂

[@ryansorenson1]

Sell law and order? More like enforce law and order. Selling democracy around the world is definitely part of the job though.

[@ChipMIK]

S-92 are outright horrible when they were equipped with only 3 rotor blades.

[@toldyouso5588]

Since the 1970's both the sea king helicopter and the president has been in Washington and are overdue for replacement.

[@billybarnes9208]

We will lose billions of dollars over some cement ? That's crazy! May God bless everyone this Thanksgiving 🙏 ❤

[@VAMobMember]

Astroturf the South Lawn?

[@JarvidVenport]

I do not get why the video is called „the U.S. President finally did it…“ When there is no solution just yet.

[@nurseactual]

Perhaps its because now there is a working model in service, albeit not complete yet. Just a theory.

[@amsivertson]

You may have missed it, part way into the video. The President flew in the new helicopter. He did it. It wasn’t from the White House lawn… they did it in Chicago...but a President finally flew on the new helicopter after many years of planning and project delays.

[@JarvidVenport]

@@amsivertson thank you for the explanation.

[@kevinturner105]

It's a waste of money.

[@scottmarshall8494]

Helipad in green to match the lawn

[@harrycraviotto2375]

Put concrete down and paint it green?

[@xrismanessa3993]

We found Bigfoot with finding Bigfoot

[@dcalzoli]

You can divide this helicopter with a waiting room with a secretary's desk and a work office with a small meeting table to make it a mobile office ?

[@IAmSpeaking4MySelf]

So we are supposed to believe that in 2024, absolutely no one has thought of building a helipad on the south lawn? One that could be covered with the esthetic use of roll away lawn? I think that says more about our lack of imagination than it does our abilities. What a joke. THERE! THAT IS YOUR PUBLICLY AVAILABLE SOLUTION!

[@grannygoes]

You have never seen the existing pad? Well, there are 3 small ones, a pad for each gear.

[@IAmSpeaking4MySelf]

@@grannygoes Hi @grannygoes. While I have not seen the existing pads, I don't doubt you. I was referring to an all new heli-pad. One that would be large enough to support any helicopter regardless of landing gear configuration and one that could easily be covered with artificial - and heat resistant - turf. Properly adhered to the roll-away cover so as to not blow away because of the rotor wash or engine exhaust. It would seem to me, to be a reasonable and justifiable exercise if esthetics is the real reason that they don't want to land the new VH92-A there. However, the reason as provided in this video just doesn't pass the smell test. I welcome further comment :)

[@ScottGunMag69]

Yeah I’m going to have to call bs. This helicopter’s prop wash isn’t much different than the current helicopter. They are comparable in size and weight. The current helicopter has hot exhaust as well.

[@anthonyschirillo4377]

Suggestion, don’t worry about the grass. Just us3 the helicopter

[@BFrase]

I wouldn't say Sikorsky has a good record changing civilian helicopters to military. Just look at the Cyclone.

[@bobmcnelis3648]

Are you kidding me?? Sikorsky has the best record of all Helicopters, period!

[@jeanmichelboileau3211]

Why not put a patch of "soccer turf", it can blend with natural grass...

[@VAMobMember]

Question: assuming cost no issue why not build a C-130 as a communications relay between THE BEAST, Marine One and the rest of the world?

[@mikelewis7269]

Install a helo pad, paint it green, or cover it in astroturf.

[@jasonplant5432]

At 30 minutes into the video," one major flaw" is mentioned numerous times,but no major flaws are presented.

[@markjohnson777]

I am certain that if there was an emergency that required the President to leave the White House quickly, harming grass would not be a sufficient deterrent for landing on the South Lawn.

[@robsweet67]

5 billion wow that’s crazy

[@shootloadrepeat]

Really prefer the original candidate EH-101 Merlin. US didn't choose it because it's not made in the USA, but it was said to be vastly superior to the S92 base.

[@neilwallace6756]

@@shootloadrepeat Actually it was going to be manufactured by Lockheed Martin as well but cost overruns made it the most expensive procured helicopter in U.S. military history and gave it the old "Pentagon Death Spiral" to cancelation.

[@thomazz1976]

Just to get it straight, we are worried about grass? Seriously?

[@harrycraviotto2375]

The Japan accident was avoidable as pilot did not abort flight when he got numinous lights indicating trouble, in civilian service every CAS light is taken as it should be and aborted flight as indicated by the conditions.

[@isaacmarcus-e6k]

wow thats crazy!!

cant put concrete on south lawn because itll damage the bunker below

robust Artificial grass?

[@BITStudioCode]

The super stallion is the best looking helicopter in the world, no second. The worst helicopter in the world is probably that one from russia(you know).

[@esousa486]

Some of the information on the VH-92A is WRONG , check your "actual" statistics BEFORE posting in the future !!!

[@1deliveryboy]

Install a large slab of concrete just low enough to be covered by high end astroturf, and the turf be rolled up during takeoff and landing. Or just paint the concrete green to match the color of the grass. Oh, but wait, the United States could not spend several million dollars doing it my way, so that puts my idea out to pasture!!!!😔

[@jimziemer474]

The new helicopter was a complete waste of money. It cost way more than it should have.
