IMO, I believe the Sikorsky-Boeing SB-1 Defiant X will win the Army's

Future Long Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) competition to replace the UH-60 Blackhawk. Coaxial main rotor system with push prop is better IMO than the tilt rotor concept.

If this happens, Boeing is in great shape for the future. Add to extending life of the AH-64 and pitching Raider X as a future replacement...I wound say odds are good in their favor.
