BELL'S V-280 VALOR IS THE STANDALONE CHOICE FOR FLRAA

To deter the threat from near-peer competitors, the Army's air assault mission demands a revolution in capability that only a tiltrotor can provide, not just a faster helicopter.

The V-280 tiltrotor's speed is truly remarkable. By comparison, the demonstrated top speed is almost 60 knots faster than any competing technology. In any innovative industry, when you have a proven product that provides transformational capability and you leverage all the lessons learned from previous models to continuously improve that capability and the total value proposition, you end up with the best in class. Combine this with the performance of the team and adherence to commitments made, you have made a compelling case that this combination is unmatched. The same can be said for Bell's V-280 Valor for the Army's Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) programme for Future Vertical Lift. Bell's V-280 Valor and the team that designed it have demonstrated performance for every key attribute related to speed, range, and agility, as well as cost, schedule and performance with the bonuses being burned-down risk and long-term affordability from a proven tiltrotor platform. There are facts-based irrefutable points as to the all-around superiority of Bell's air assault tiltrotor to keep the Army's aviation speed and range capabilities on par with its other-service partners in the joint all-domain fight.
