The Army awarded Bell the contract for the Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft. The V-280 will replace the UH-60 Blackhawk over the next decade.

The V-280 has been around for a few years as a prototype, and it's a fairly mature, tilt-rotor design. I think it's a great decision by the Army.

๐Ÿ‘€ @BellFlight@twitter.com 'Valor' selected as to replace .

(I've to admit that selecting Valor [only] sounds me strange as the solution is expected to be able to maneuver troops into dangerous hot spots which a tilt-rotor seems to me not optimized.)
