This Tilt-Rotor Aircraft Could Be The Future Of The US Army's Helicopter Fleet
2015-01-22
Bell's V-280, which combines a combat helicopter's fuselage with tilt-rotors, would basically be a Black Hawk that can adjust its thrust to fly like a fixed-wing aircraft once it's airborne.
Once again the Army wants to build an advanced helicopter. Like the Comanche, which failed. And the Arapaho, which failed. And the Cheyenne, which failed. Each cost billions of dollars in R & D. So pardon me if I'm a little skeptical about the V-280; we've seen this movie.
