I had the opportunity to work on Boeing's LHX proposal (about 2 years ago).
We provided human engineering support (MANPRINT) to some avionic components
and some flight recorders.  Most of the work will be done at Boeing Vertol
in Philadelphia.  Boeing's other experience in helicoptors is as the prime
contractor for the CH-47 family of Chinooks.
