Why naval helicopter equipment can prompt Army upgrades

The Seahawk's electric blade folding prompts a wider comparison of Army and naval priorities. Shipboard stowage gives the Navy a reason to pay for powered folding, while an Army utility helicopter can be treated as a flying truck that is satisfactory as long as it works. In this view, seeing useful naval equipment in operation can make Army users demand comparable upgrades. Whether the Black Hawk actually acquired this particular folding arrangement is left unverified; the imagined Army reaction illustrates a broader pattern drawn from experience.
