US Testing Billion $ Worth of Brand New High Speed Helicopters

I learned that the co-axial rotor configuration eliminates the need for a tail rotor; reducing drag and improving speed and maneuverability. You will too because they say it 3 TIMES in the video. Stellar editing.

Both V-280 and S-97 are great for Army’s QRF for time sensitive missions

On 5 December 2022, the US Army selected the rival Bell V-280 Valor as the winner of the Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft program. Thus, cancelling the SB-1 Defiant.

Man that Raider looks stunning even without knowing its specs...

Once i saw an American helicopter flying upside down, I've been convinced the American military thinks of everything

The V280 is going to have about twice the range of the MH-60, which will be pretty important for the Pacific.

MADE IN USA ALWAYS POWERFUL N BEAUTIFUL

Americas freedom is not cheap, there is a cost to it. In money, are technology is the best in the world. A cost of lives defending are freedoms. The worst thing a person can do, is betray their country. That gave us the freedom , and opportunity in this country.

Well they have to, because it looks like the Osprey is a widowmaker

The huge "danger keep away" warning on the tail reminds me of the lawnmower sticker: "do not pick up and use as hedge trimmer"

I've got a Popular Science magazine from the early '50's, showing something similar. It's been a long desired thing, airplane speed and rotary wing landing performance.

Finally VTOL that makes sense

Need a decent editor to remove all the repetition - e.g. how many times was ‘coaxial counter rotating and pusher propellor’ repeated. Thanks for the video, but could be better

The next generations helicopter will always belongs to MADE IN USA

Bravo, US Force!

The strength and hugeness are apparent from her external appearance, and she will undoubtedly be very strong and intelligent, and she is the creation of great America. 🇺🇲👍💯

the only thing i really would add to the one helicopter is a 2nd tail, forward of the first... why... to help hide the exhaust from the sides. think like an a-10. the way it is now, it will help protect the rear pusher/puller prop blade... but the exhaust can still be seen from the sides really easily i'd bet. maybe a short wing with the same sort of tail build on each side of the exhaust with thermal absorbing tiles, like the ones used in nasa/space x.. to absorb heat and block visibility of the exhaust? anyhow that is what came to mind for me anyhow. peace. as a bonus, if the tail is hit by the rear prop, and fails to function or perform its "duty"... then maybe the other set could help with turning when using that pusher/pull prop as well. or improve the turn rate compared to what it is now if needed.

Badass, say thanks fer the ole gyrocopter, utilizing the pusher propeller

A real version of Airwolf with super long rage(500 -1000 miles).

Script was too repetitive I heard the coaxial propeller description at least 4 times.
