Bell 360 Invictus Is Set To Be the Army's New Attack Reconnaissance Chopper
2021-10-16
[Interesting Engineering] Lethal. Sustainable. Affordable. Three words Bell used to describe its recently-unveiled upgraded 360 Invictus stealth helicopter model.

Showcasing the 360 Invictus at the recent AUSA 2021 Annual Meeting & Exposition in Washington, D.C., Bell disclosed its 360 Invictus program is moving swiftly through manufacturing, assembly, components testing, and system integrations. It looks like the U.S. Army will receive its new helicopter on time in the fall for future stealth attack reconnaissance missions.

"The Bell 360 Invictus is an exciting aircraft that brings sophisticated digital systems together in a high-speed, reliable, maintainable vehicle for austere environments around the world," Jayme Gonzalez, program manager of Bell 360 Invictus, said to Defence Blog.

#14  Buzz Word. Catch Phrase. Now Lingo.

The big question is if there is a fingernail polish drying stand in the cockpit forward operators' position.

#13  Apparently this design and Sikorsky's design are the two finalists for the new helicopter but a selection between them hasn't been done yet.

#11   Attack-Roconnaissance seems a non-sequitur.

Is that what reconnaissance in force means?

#8  As a future-ready helicopter, the fly-by-wire controls will not only deliver high stability and control but also reduce workload for the future crew as more operations will become autonomous.
