The MD-969, AVX, and THE INVICTUS look total beast mode.
the invictus definitely took inspiration from the Comanche helo, tell me im wrong
Nah. AirWolf.
Since you asked, you're wrong 😁
@@jamesalvarez890 -_-
You're wrong!
But I definitely agree a 100%. 🤣
Yup. Look alike a Comanche and a cobra had a baby
Yes indeed. Awesome US Helicopter technology.
great collection, thank tou kindly
👊
🔥
Love this new latest up2dated technology amaze me wow🤭👍.
WOW THESE DESIGNS GOT THE FUTURIST LOOK FOR SURE
DONT GET ME WRONG - ALL OF THE HELOS HERE ARE AWESOME - I came here to review all the Future Vertical Lift entries after being initially disappointed that Bell's V280 Valor beat out the Sikorsky Defiant X , I have a strong preference for Coaxial Rotors, and although Tilt-Rotors are cool , and very futuristic, it's hard for many to move past the many horrific incidents the Osprey suffered. Like someone else mentioned here, the DoD likes to keep many of the big players in business and will often spread contracts out even if they aren't technically the best design in order to keep the factories flowing and competition healthy. Here's the bottom line ; I think the V-280 valor is a better replacement for the UH-60 BlackHawk, I think it's a great troop and cargo transporter, can get troops quickly in and safely IN & OUT of the fight. I think the Raider X is a better option for the attack helicopter. The invictus has a few problems I don't like, first of all I HATE ASYMMETRICAL Designs ( The traditional Single rotor and Tail rotor for Anti-Torque ) The tail rotor is THE ACHILLES HEEL of many traditional heli designs, they are easily destroyed even by small arms fire, and even a nick in the tail rotor induces unctrollable torque + certain DEATH. The coaxial Rotor is one of the greatest inventions ever, the Ka-50 Blackshark can have it's entire Tail boom blown off and still get home safely. The invictus is small and stealthy, which is good in some situations, but I think the Raider X can carry MORE weapons, has the option of small crew or cargo transport which the invictus does not, and has greater speed and maneuverability. I think for most situations the Raider X is the superior design for ATTACK platforms. I hope it wins , and It will be AMAZING to hopefully see both the V280 and the Raider X in the field , and maybe even War movies.
The Osprey is one of the safest rotorcraft the military flies.
@@n3v3rforgott3n9 any statistics to back that statement?
@@hiei5040 Let's examine the crash numbers from the last 10 years
The Army operates about 2,100 UH-60's including the national guard and special operations:
>The current Army Acquisition Objective, or AAO, for its UH-60 Black Hawk fleet currently sits at 2,135 aircraft.
The Navy has about 550, and the Air Force has about 100. Lets call it a total fleet of about 2,800.
There are about 450 V-22's across all variants. Roughly 6.25 times smaller of an overall fleet so the 60's would have to crash 6.25 times more often to make the rate equal. Over the last 10 years, here's how the two airframes compare for accidents:
V-22: 7 crashes
H-60 : 51 crashes
For the 60 to crash less it would have had to keep their number below ~44
If you want to talk about a rough start the Blackhawk had 20+ crashes in its first 6 years of service. If you want to talk about fatalities the C-130 has killed more people in the last 10 years than the V-22 has and we operate less V-22s.
The V-22 Osprey only had 1 catastrophic mechanical failure since it entered service.
So the Valor gets no mention which may very well beat out the defiant?
Well done. It actually did!
Finally the Invictus gets another mention.
Looks like a Comanche helicopter, they bringing it back?
A drone would do the job better.
@@greghudson1489You should see the way Bell has designed the Invictus to work with drones. It really is some impressive stuff.
@@lars1701again because there were many impressive things offered by the Comanche, but the technology had not matured enough. Now it has.
These are some exotic and unconventional helicopters.
December 2022: *Coming in like a wrecking ball* The Bell v 280 valor, chosen by US Army
While they all may be under development doesn't necessarily mean they all will be fielded.
At least 1 will. The US will have all its defense companies compete to give them the best product.
Too much reliance on Boeing will be the program's downfall...
@@vyros.3234 😅😊😮
Absolutely, I suspect many more years of testing, development, big budget increases, deadline overruns, congress inquiries, cancelled projects, new administration project resurrected, further testing, development, deployment at 8 times original forecast cost. Federal budget increases borrowing and taxes.
The last major combat helicopter system the U.S. Army developed was the AH-64, fielded in the 1980s. It's been a sad story, which I fear will be repeated with the FVL program.
It may be quick and nimble, but will it go crazy when it hears a cymbal?
Usa 🇺🇸 💖❤🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲💯
Bell 360 Invictus looks a lot like the Comanche that got shelved.
Can't wait to fly them in future Battlefield Multiplayer games
Thank you USA and UK for your help and support! You are real friends! Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the USA! Glory to Belarus!!!
Glory to peacemakers
Nice jokes
The Comanche was a good one….. but…. But…..
Here why it failed. Basically got stuck in development hell. ruclips.net/video/MDHOqHeg7d4/видео.html The Bell Invictus seems like a upgraded Comanche though.
The VH-92 is based on the early EH-101 ending in the final production model AW-101 supercopter that's the best in its class.
Invictus looks fantastic
I hope the Invictus gets the contract mainly because of how screwed over the Comanche was and since this is almost like the spiritual successor of the Comanche I say it's kind of Justified to give Bell the contract
THe commanche wasn't screwed over. It was overpriced and, honestly, unnecessary at the time it was cancelled. It didn't die, though.. Parts of it are in use now in newer revisions of the Cobra and Apache, and likely will go into future helicopters.
F-35 program: trillions and trillions and tons of problems
RAH-66: 9 billions? Are you crazy?
But fr though the helicopter was going to cost 60 millions/unit. That is really outrageous for an helicopter but yeah. Its technologies are still useful for other helicopters and the next generation.
long range and high speeds... the lack of range of helicopters is actually the main reason why the V22 exists. operation eagle claw.
Coaxial? Kamov one love
The MD969 looks like a "Little Bird" replacement. The Sikorsky RAIDER/DEFIANT series are the best Blackhawk replacement designs.
The BELL 360 is new innies airframe and old in its power and lift technology. Get the AVX attack chopper instead!
What about the v-280?
Any idea when these will be available for selection in flight school?
Excellent intonation , pretty much all your videos I generally hear at least 2 times as such 1st time I can't concentrate on the contents rather I

You realize that's a computer talking right? Guess it passed the Touring Test.
Thankyou ❤️
Yeah uhmmm. It’s my own voice
The SB1 Defiant lost out to the Bell 280 Valor.
And you're using very outdated renderings for the Bell 360 Invictus. Bell eliminated the ducted tail rotor a couple of years ago.
Great vid 👍

I actually prefer the one and only helicopter on this list which just went into active service and that is the first one. Just something very cool about it.
I designed the first one.

Infantry's best friend, helicopters are the basis of a strong advancing conquering special forces.
270 knots in A Heli...That's fast
Can't wait for Mach 1 helicopters. And please don't bring in nerd explanations about why it is feasible or not, idc.
What will be the possible guns attached to these aircrafts and how many ammo will be stored?
Probably a 30mm chain gun with 500 to 2000 rounds, hydra 70mm rockets pods, hellfire missiles, stinger missiles to take down small drones and other helicopters, so same stuff an Apache carries then probably some new stuff down the line
Md969 NICE
USA makes the best helicopters
No I don't think so. I think that is Europe or Russia. US's helicopters are too expensive and hard to use.
Izzy moonbow, Europe has never used them in combat and Russia have lost several to stingers.
And find me a easy to use helicopter, I’d love to fly one.
@@SUNNYSTARSCOUT365 Russia makes terrible helicopters
@@vuelveamehico1181 No they don't. Russia's helicopters are very durable and cheap too. Not much country can buy US's military helicopter unless you are US's ally.
@@anguswaterhouse9255 So does US's helicopters can be shot down by Igla and Strela made in USSR.

USA: new combat weapon air not look people right
what do need for those fast helos when they already have the ospreys
The first helicopter I'm so interested in oh it gets away with not having any rear propeller?? In the past the only way to do this is to have twin propellers on the top spinning opposite directions.
It is called NOTAR (No Tail Rotor). Usually uses ducted air pushed through a very thick tail boom. Has the benefit of being safer for ground personnel and the aircraft is less susceptible to loss through a tail strike.
Sikorsky has the S-97 Raider compete with the Bell+Textron 360 Invictus in the AAS / FARA (armed scout) program.
Meanwhile, the Sikorsky+Boeing SB-1 Defiant competes with the Bell+Lockheed V280 Valor for the FVL (long-range lift) program.
Given how the US defense industry works, it is likely that both companies get one contract each, to keep every factory running, everybody employed.
So if you like both Sikorsky or both Bell designs, get ready for a disappointment.
The Raider has troop capacity while the Invictus does not, but that gives the Invictus better stealth properties, just like the Boeing-Sikorsky RAH-66 Comanche had. Not sure why they abandoned that design. Just to push a common scout and transport design when they know it's not very likely they'll get both contracts?
The V280 seems to be the more mature design, faster and longer range. But the SB-1 might offer better handling and safety, as it is not a tilt rotor. And it's smaller, closer to the Blackhawk size. This might really go both ways.
How about the Valor???
It's going to be the Defiant or the Raider. Nothing can compete with their capacity or speed. I think the Defiant is a better choice because it can land in narrow streets, which also makes it better for carrier operations. It also can be converted into an attack helicopter with few modifications compared to the Raider. It's just a better helicopter.
A better helicopter is a tilt rotor. The v280 has a lot going for it.
Why would the Army trust Sikorsky a company owned by Lockheed with a huge contract after the disaster they experienced with the tremendous cost overruns and delays they had when the military gave them the contract for the Joint Strike Fighter? In my opinion that mess made Lockheed look extremely bad and I don't think the Army wants a repeat of what the Air Force and Navy had to go through.
@@smittywerbenjaegermanjense2350 The Joint Strike Fighter Costs are actually dropping. The volume of foreign orders makes it the most desired jet today.
Well we've got one of those decisions made now.
@@WALTERBROADDUS The Army seems to have agreed.
Wow ! Nice research but still classified stuff not released.... 🤫
So in other words Commanche is coming back but better looking :-) :-)
I like her voice 😍
It's quick and nimble when it needs to be!
It can fly through the air,
And crash into trees!
They’re all going to be in production ?
What about DD-21 Program
Why do I get the feeling that we are heading towards the Republic Gunship look from clone wars?
JOHN, I'M TRYING TO GET A BUS OUT OF REDONDO BEACH, I'LL BE THEIR WHEN I GET THERE,
OK, ETC
The AVX looks like a Star Wars: Attack Of The Clones ship.
They are starting to look like ka 52s. Are double rotary propellers the ultimate form for military helicopters?
It's because if you have the double main rotors spinning opposite ways you no longer need a tail rotor to counter the torque. Meaning no tail no problem, or at least it won't be a good excuse for being unable to survive. It also means the tail can either be removed or used as extra space for additional speed like pusher props. Essentially we're still probing out the best middleground of rotary and fixed wing aircraft
What's life expectancy in combat? 3-5 minutes?
these are like tanks waiting to be destroyed by rpg or drones or anti aircraft missiles.. but with drones today just a swarm of explosive drones this will go down easily by hitting the propellers or the control syste on the pilot area..
What`s the difference between the Raider at 1:50 min. and the Defiant at 5:40 min. ?
Same question here. 😅 I think the defiant seems longer.
Defiant is bigger
the speed hawk why not just i don’t build a plane, that thing is basically a plane anyway, also iam not sure i would want be flying into enemy territory with the giant hulking engine at the back, it is huge snd would make a pretty easy target.
airwolf is the best
👍
Raider all the way.
i thought there will be rc controlled armed helicopter
S-97 Raider ?
SB-1 is not very efficient with its space. It's a big helicopter but only with a small compartment for carrying.
Raider all the way
🇺🇸💪🇺🇸💪😎
The design of defiant x and Sikorsky s-97 raider are the same
Several of these designs are taking from the AH-56 Cheyenne of 67.
I am hoping the Defiant X and the Raider X get the contracts, but the others seem nice too, my mom saw the bell 280 (a tilt rotor helicopter) in person at her work
The 280 flies 100 knots faster than the defiant
@@coreyjacobs2718 The main issue in my opinion is that the 280 doesn't have the same LZ profile that the Blackhawk does, it occupies an LZ profile closer that of a Chinook because of how wide it is, meaning it couldn't perform the same kind of tight operations in smaller Landing Zones as the Blackhawk despite being a replacement for said helicopter, just because it is faster doesn't make it better, there are plenty of other considerations, I am pretty sure it would be much easier for pilots to learn to fly the Defiant as well compared to the tilt rotor design of the 280.
Also compared to the size of its landing zone I would say the transport capacity it has it too small given that you will need to land in larger LZs meaning you are likely going to be more exposed or scarce on choice, also the pusher prop provides the Defiant better low speed manoeuvrability compared to the 280 which can be vital in a tight LZ or even fly leveled while still moving around meaning it would be easier for gunners to engage threats from the air.
@@ilo3456 however speed and distance are just as important factors as the size of a landing zone factors which the 280 stands heads and shoulders above the defiant.
@@coreyjacobs2718 In my opinion it is less of an issue, because even if it faster and has longer range, if it can't be land in an LZ of the same size as those that the Blackhawk uses then it can't really replace it as it no longer meets the same mission requirements as the Blackhawk.
So in my opinion the Defiant should replace the Blackhawk as the Medium Transport Helicopter of the US Army, while the 280 should be made into a Heavy Lift Platform capable of leveraging it's dual tilt rotor design to be able to carry heavier cargo and a larger amount of troops.
Simply put if you can't land in the same LZ as the Blackhawk you are leaving an operational gap which will need to be filled up by a different helicopter anyways, so you can't really justify picking the 280 over the Defiant, since the 280 due to its larger landing footprint leaves an operational gap which is quite important.
@@ilo3456 except the landing zone size would not be that huge most insertions happen in open fields but I am hearing that both could be picked.
Invictus aka Comanche II
AirWolf?
But the thing is if the were sent to battlefield can these next gen choppers, be very effective in battlefiled? Cause there are alot of supersonic missiles that can destroy next gen jet stealth fighter, even these next gen chopper cant even avoid it
Helicopters can get nice and close to the ground. The biggest problem with guided weapons is no guidance it has almost a zero percent chance of hitting. They either lose lock and self detonate or in the case of laser guided they just have nowhere to go but the ground if the helicopter drops out of line of sight
heliCOPter!😆
So you're sayin' that 1st aircraft can fly 207mph?!?! 🤔🧐
That's a basic requirement for all the new machines.
@@brionjohnson2985 REALLY?!?! I rem the days where an Apache flyin' at 186mph was fast, ha. Thx for the reply. 😉✌️
@@dodoubleg2356 You will also remember that the Apache couldn't keep up with the Chinook. It flew @ 200 mph. Now they want birds that will keep up with the Osprey and it's replacement. Ultimately they want a bird than do everything a helo can do, but be able to at least get close to 300 mph. They want a more difficult to hit machine to operate in a high threat environment.

I could've sworn there was a tilt-rotor under testing, too... One of the most difficult things to learn in English is when or when not to add a "s" at the end of a word. Whoever programmed the Speechelo for this video has this problem.
That would be the Bell v-280 project. But the topic is on just helicopters.
I thought the Speedhawk was cancelled.
Probably was. I know we're looking for 2 helicopters. 2. No more
Yeah. There hasn't been any updates on it for a few years now. Interesting concept though. Like they coulda modified existing Blackhawks. (Since that's what that one was)
feel like most scouting will be done by drones anyways , so helicopter for scouting purpose sounds dated
Давно расматривается вариант с вертолётом носителем дронов. И для разведки и для ударов.
Problem with that is drones aren't 100%. They aren't invulnerable and if we have to recover shot down drone carcasses or make it so nobody can recover them that means they aren't fully expendable either. They're best used when paired with an asset capable of pressing the delete button on the enemies the drones find before the drone is lost or the baddies get away

I think it was released that the S97 heli is being canceled due to cost overruns and not able to perform a few certain capabilities it wanted
Sikorsky yang bisa dibeli Indonesia tentu perusahaan As tsb harus bisa menawarkan dan meyakinkan Indonesia untuk membelinya
You people need to wake up and realize there is another principle player in the next major helicopter program and that is the V-280 Valor. What you need to do is realize that if the V-280 is finalized as the winner your videos will be totally Junk for ignoring a candidate. The V-280 can be thought of as the successor to the V-22 osprey as well as its design solves many of the issues. It wont replace the V-22 but future system designs may use it instead of the V-22. I will admit you have disclosed more helicopter variations than I was aware of. Just note that some sources have reported that the V-280 has already won and the competition is crying fowl.
Airwolf 🐺?
Uo IIBB BBBh loo loo look i niño hiiiv
Is the MELB-X, newly designated “MH-6R", the "Little Black Bird" helicopters of 160th US Army Special Operations Aviation Regiment (160th SOAR), appears is ready for deployment as a top secret Pilot-optional new special ops helo, with state of the art stealth and fuselage armour technology and navigation and secure communication systems.
As well as both electronic-warfare and advance passive active sensors systems, plus new digital flight by wire flight control systems and new state of the art weapons too, even increase onboard fuel tanks with a removable in-flight refuelling probe that can be installed quickly to give extended range and endurance too.
To provide Tier One US Special Forces, a clear advantage over any of the international Islamic Terrorist Groups, or over the likes of the Chinese, Russians, or the North Koreans and Iranians, in any future West East conflicts or wars.
With the new “MH-6R” or the "Little Black Bird" ready for anything, plus can have a flight of four or six of "MH-6R's" helo's plus their pilots and ground support crews and necessary SF Operators too. Can be anywhere in the world, within 24-hours from the United States, via C-17's and C-5's or by C-130J's flying West over the Pacific Ocean or East over the Atlantic Ocean too.
The only question is will the new "MH-6R" replace only the older "MH-6's" only, or will a fleet of new "MH-6R's" replace older "AH-6's" too?
Maybe a second question, will these new "MH-6R" helo's, be offered to Nato and other American Allies own Special Aviation Units too?
Just build Airwolf.
These are not upcoming. The X-49 was built and discarded years ago
wheres airwolf?
