Utility helicopters like the U.S. Army’s Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) fly low and fast, land quickly, deliver Soldiers to the X and get out - all while evading the enemy in complex terrain. Sikorsky and partner Boeing have created an agile, maneuverable weapon system that flies twice as far and twice as fast as the Black Hawk - and fits in the same operational footprint. Combined with Sikorsky-Boeing’s unsurpassed experience in mission systems, training and sustainment, DEFIANT X will revolutionize the way the Army meets threats in 2035 and beyond. DEFIANT X is the best solution for the Army’s mission today, and the only solution able to adapt to the threats of tomorrow.
Great accomplishment by the Sikorsky team. Additional props goes to the Bell Flight team too for the V-280. Many years of innovation, design and development.
Hi team defiant, please can i use a short extract of this video for a RU-vid video i am working on relating to the maximum forward speed of a helicopter. Of course the video will be credited to yourself. Thank you in advance , kind regards, Andrew
No sikorsky left the shit hole that is russia over 100 years ago now.and made his first helicopters in the US. This design is also completely different form the coaxial design used on RU helicopters.
@@MarkBarrett ... you are basing that on false info then. Each engine in a tilt rotor turns both rotors at all times so if one engine goes down it only loses half of its power. Just like the Chinook and Osprey.
This is right next to my home, I seen this helicopter and the Comanche along time ago, I can often here helicopter way off in the distance in the woods...
Die Russen erzählen rum Sie haben diesen Hubschrauber erfunden jeder weiß der sich mit Technik ist weiß USA Amerika hat diesen Hubschrauber erfunden und gebaut und schon seit 30 jahren haben die diesen Hubschrauber🙂🙂
yup the fools see a coaxial helicopter and somehow think RU invented all of them... the first coaxial helicopter flew in France i believe and the first "modern" helicopter flew in the US. This coaxial design is also completely different from previous coaxial designs.
What kind of armament can this carry? TOW 2 would be deadly with this kind of maneuverability. Might be able to laser multiple targets and rapidly let the TOWs out while strafing sideway maintaining a safe distance from the target.
