BOWNES, Circuit Judge.

This is an appeal from a dismissal of plaintiffs' diversity tort action against defendant Hughes Helicopters, Inc.1 of California for lack of personal jurisdiction. The question is whether Hughes' contacts with Puerto Rico were sufficient under Puerto Rico law and the due process clause of the Constitution to subject it to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for Puerto Rico.
