  • Today we introduce the new US Army Bell V-280 Valor, this new US Military beast will be part of Air Force One and may even rival the Apache Helicopter whilst replacing the black hawk. Today we will uncover the insane engineering behind the Bell V-280 Valor, it's combat range, missile capabilities and stealth mode.

    Is this a game changer or another failed Boeing Osprey?

      Osprey is very successful and is one of the safest aircraft the Navy flies even if fools on the internet say otherwise.

      It's an advanced Osprey that has learned from it. A Blackhawk class helo that can lift what it can as far and as fast as it can is going to be a game changer in the Pacific especially when deployed from ships.

    Keep in mind power will increase by 40% in actual aircraft, speed and capacity as well as range will be better in actual aircraft. Speed should be higher with more lift than in this demo version. Speeds of 400+ mph possible with refinement.

      I don't think you will see that great of a speed increase. By the time you add mission equipment which will increase drag, and account for gearbox limitations, I bet the speed doesn't increase much. Just builds in a margin for hot and high performance at max gross weight.

    Faster than the Sikorsky S-97 RAIDER. This concept will probably win the race. The similarity to the V-22 Osprey is only external. In contrast to the Osprey, the V-280 does not tilt the engine nacelles, only the rotors.

  • @virgiliomarzan47
    @virgiliomarzan47 7 месяцев назад +1

    I think one of the big advantage of V280 is not having to wait to be shipped by airforce or navy, it just need air/ground refueling in order to get to the units it serves, lets not forget it also flies like a plane right, but it should not be used for initial air assault missions but would be great for follow on forces, materials and security and evac. The Defiant/Raider looks tailored to have an attack/air assault mission design. 8:24

    • @martinpugh9700
      @martinpugh9700 7 месяцев назад

      It’s a problem though. Apache doesn’t have the range or speed to keep up with the V-280. So if you don’t arm it you severely limit your shiny new air craft.

    • @SeanP7195
      @SeanP7195 Месяц назад

      I don’t see why not. At the beginning the Apache was revolutionary. But this could easily handle those tasks. It’s faster, has more range, more agile. It could easily operate a 30mm and some hellfire missiles on it. Not to mention it will have far better electronics and avionics in it. This was so impressive that the Army cancelled the FARA program. How often do you see that? A troop carrier that had such good results it basically eliminated a need for a new Apache and Kiowa. That should make life much easier for the Army.

    • @Moonen100
      @Moonen100 9 месяцев назад +5

      Because even the US army is mostly using Metric and has done so for quite some time now.. the US is one of the last countries in the world that uses the imperial system. Which is less accurate and it makes more sense to use the metric since her allies all use metric. Yes even the Brits. It's nice to speak the same language.

      @@jmbaka007 The Army is concerned with the deployment range and speed. Tiltrotors offer twice the range and speed conventional helicopters do, and the Bell prototype has a rather good performance record, especially compared to the Sikorsky prototype. I believe a production model prototype will be delivered next year or 2025 for more intensive Army testing.

      The issues the Osprey have are the same issues any other helicopter has, people seem to have forgotten that the Blackhawk used to be known as the Crashawk because of its abysmal safety record early in its career, even now the Osprey has a better safety record than the Blackhawk, its just that the Osprey carries more people and thus crashes tend to kill more and thus the media likes to focus on it because "20 killed in crash" is more interesting than "6 killed in crash".
