V-280 Valor: The New Black Hawk

Показать описание

After decades of service, the UH-60 Black Hawk is set to be replaced by the V-280 Valor, a groundbreaking decision made by the U.S. Army in December 2022. This selection marked a new chapter for the Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) program, which aims to usher in a faster, more versatile generation of helicopters.

By August 2024, the program reached a crucial milestone, with the approval of Milestone B, initiating the transition into the Engineering and Manufacturing Development phase. During this stage, six prototypes will be constructed and tested to assess their performance, reliability, and suitability for the future battlefield.

As Douglas R. Bush, the Army’s acquisition executive, stated: “FLRAA will provide significantly increased speed, range, and endurance for the Army's future assault and MEDEVAC capabilities."

An aircraft with two rotors, can it fly when one of the rotors is damaged?

If it doesn’t fold, how does it get transported half way around the world into a potential combat zone?

Does anyone know what naming convention will the U.S. Army use for the V-280? Any chance Bell will make a Cobrized version of the Bell V-280?

Well....until you gravitic drive in mil/commercial craft this is about the best bad idea we have. Range + speed + capacity ... not a bad combination.

Looks like a Blackhawk and an Osprey had a kid.

I took the aircraft is the most risky aircraft you can put out there after all the problems they have with the Osprey you think they wouldn’t do this

The guy telling the story said it. It's a big shift to tilt rotors. To this you have to add that it is a bad shift any way you look at it. The V-22 Osprey killed US marines by the boatload. It also killed soldiers in other services. It was a dangerous technology. It still is. There is no guarantee that the V-280 Valor design can overcome the complexities at the base of any tilt rotor function. Just say no to tilt-rotor killing machines and go for faster longer range helicopters like the Defiant X.

Hope it isnt a crew killer like the osprey

toddsmith

Biggest reason it isn't as complex is it doesn't have to fit on a ship...

They stole a clip from the movie "Blackhawk Down" at 1:19.

Boooo! Not a fan of tilt-rotor aircraft.

There is "ONE THING", THE Black Hawk can do, that this "NEW" V.T.O.L. craft (V280Valor) cannot do, is, "Fly on one engine"! And there is, "NO WAY", to remedy, solve or mitigate this problem. If the Black Hawk were to loose an engine, for any reason, i.e. mechanical failure, or getting shot-out, it can still fly, conversely, if the V280Valor, looses an engine, it's toast, full stop. Cheers to Ye Matey!

Well at least they didn't go with the Boeing monstrosity.

jackdbur

The army wants a lot more crashes then.
