- Keith Flail, the vice president for advanced vertical lift systems at Bell, gives Defense & Aerospace Report Editor Vago Muradian a tour of the company's 360 Invictus helicopter developed for the US Army’s Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft at the Association of the United States Army’s 2019 annual meeting in Washington, DC. Our AUSA coverage is sponsored by GM Defense, Bell, L3Harris and Leonardo DRS.
Like these vids. Just talk. No overly loud intro music, and no background music at all!
Yes, but I would like to listen and see more of the helicopter, not guy's face
do you hate music
“We’re here to meet our customer’s requirements.” Love it! Such a pilot.
Congratulations humans the Hunter Killer is here for real! Lol life is stranger than fiction, Now we'll just wait until they hook it up with Skynet.
Vago is one the most interesting, intelligent and effective interviewers in the industry.
I love how it looks so similar to the RAH 66 Commanche.
looks the same
@@Ekim1740 It looks nothing like the same.
Wasnt the commanche better?
Comanche had a pusher prop, controversy was the air Force was trying to claim the helicopter because of its advanced speeds. I do believe the Comanche also had a gyro rotor head.
@@JohnnyZenith well to be it does, a bit at least
Vago Muradian is perhaps the best interviewer I have seen on these types if weapons videos.. I'm now a huge fan. His knowledge is great and it helps drive the interview along at a good pace. There is no...ummmm....ummmm....these 2 are professionals discussing amazing hardware.
Seriously...great job...like the other comment said...thank you for not playing loud music and doing the Attention Deficit Disorder thing when playing 1 second clips of different angles.
Cheers
Looks like the Marine corps Cobra and the Army's Apache had a baby, and it's cute as cute can be. Can't wait to see the full capabilities of this awesome platform.
NAH...to me...it has that chiseled look just like the Cobra had!
Does it come in black?
Thanks for Uploading.
This is a really cool looking helicopter, especially for Bell. I can't remember if I've ever seen another bell helicopter with a Fenestron tail or not, but I've always thought they look way more sleek than a conventional tail rotor. Usually Eurocopter was the main manufacturer that uses the Fenestron tail. Exciting stuff.
Chinese made one, but they can't produce engine or Transmission with power to take off with any load capacity at all, and got scrapped.
Congratulations humans the Hunter Killer is here for real! Lol life is stranger than fiction, Now we'll just wait until they hook it up with Skynet.
I can recognise my Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog joystick and throttle which are a replica of the USAF A-10C (great PC controllers for flight sims).
It's kind of funny to see them here, also they appear on the movie Prometheus, lol
vtol vr
Thats really interesting cause it makes it a lot different front a standard helicopter. Where the cyclic is between your legs. I wonder if there's a learning curve for newer pilots or if they pick it up quickly. I love the design of the cockpit. I also have seen the sensors allow you to see thru the cockpit so which is interesting. My question is will that be integrated into a helmet or if the visor looking things were what the pilots would wear
I love. The drag management as all weapons inside
We are here to meet our customers requirements 👏
Just beautiful and dangerous!
sooo so slick.... wow, mind blown by the design
What a beauty a Reborn Comanche!
Smart to build in the possibility of remote control.
Think we soon will see VTOL's drones with a cargo space that can be used to deliver supplies or carry back wounded.
Would be a great asset to have on a drone flying support
Steffen Jespersen we already do look up the firescout.
What a sexy attack gunship for US Army aviation. Reminds me of RAH-66 Comanche and movie Airwolf. Dekhte hi pyar hojaye (In Hindi) means love at first sight.... muah! Love from India to US Armed forces.
Gorgeous aircraft
Na - the Cobras and Vipers are gorgeous this is bland.
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.
Bad ass! Good job Bell
Very advanced and beautiful machine
“Hi tech and state of the art”
*sees off the shelf thrustmaster warthog stick and throttle*
Well he did say they were cutting costs...
Freaking awesome 👌
no rivets on this thing? is it all composites? does it have armor for pilot protection from small arms at least? i assume this is a floor model i guess for promotion only?
Its going in a movie!
I pads&touch screens...and wifi&bluetooth?
Why is the tail rotor tilted?
lift sharing wing means what, that it goes through the helicopter, like...it's a one big part slided through the middle, not two separate parts?
kinda makes you wonder why prospective contest entrants arent both chosen for their different medium actuate roles, like the f-23 / 22 was, likely a broader spectrum of possibles if both where used, its odd that only one is chosen when possibly a mixmatch model of each woud cover more scope
What is the climb out speed/power after an attack run? Does it lack the speed needed make it more vulnerable to ground fire after a strafing run?
Isn't this slower than an Apache?!
What happened to this channel ? Really enjoyed these defence updates
if the Army doesn't take this, the Marines definitely should
@Frank Silvers why not?
@@Agent4077 The us marines are another 2nd army. They need to make the us marines infantry into commandos and make that the standard.
what a cool looking bird kinda reminiscent of the comanche
Like this design..💯🇺🇸👍
doors on both sides of a tandem helicopter? why?
That helicopter is so sexy.
That 'mock up' looks slapped together. Better looking than an Iranian show piece, but still just for show.
Hmmm any longbow versions?
Its nice, I like it. 😎
Were are the rockets and missiles on that badass helicopter
Might want to re-phrase that, It looks at first like "Bell Flail" means they totally flopped or flailed, as it were. eh hem
Sweet machine !
Cool deal, hope it works good
Can you rename the 360 Invictus to the Bell Black Thunder
Nice!
Where is the SPR?
What happens if those screen are accidentally broken?
everything works until the bullets start hitting. the generals don't expect combat damage.
The Comanche crawled so this thing could walk
pretty sure this is how it went down @ the pentagon U.S. Army acquisition officer to commanders what kind of platform do you need? commanders we need one that does FAR A.
LOL
Can civilians purchase these?
Soooooo......... No back up airspeed, alt, direction heading dials etc. if say I don't know the computer screen malfunctions, cracks, burns out or just in anyway just fails and shows a blank black screen. Very smart
RAH 66 Commanche 2.0 version!!!
It would be neat if they could make a larger one to creat an american version of the MI-24.
I know its been two years, but Itill hope this thing is the future gunship that replaces the Apache.
Not to badmouth the Apache. I love that thing.
this hawk with troop slings is gonna save the infantry & commandos in very tight situations in urban, desert, jungle, beach & coastal gunfight.
Wow! Does Batman sit in the back?
I have to assume the cockpit interior on this model is incomplete. I see no pedals or collective. Just a throttle and cyclic.
How do you hide without the dome?
Put your hands over your eyes.
love how he called this cool machine the airplane the commentator. love this chopper.
That huge wing attachment reminds me of the Sikorsky S-67 Blackhawk.
I just saw that no one acknowledge the throwback to the Blackhawk, not to be confused with the Black Hawk. =), I agree the wing does look similar, It'd be dope if it could do barrel roles like the S-67.
this Comanche 2.0 is totally bad-ass. So it's only got one engine but 2 throttles? I guess this is just a mock-up?
Maybe the SPU is more of a beast than we think
I would hate to rely on a finnacky touchpad, in a combat environment. Hope it's really up to spec for the users.
I don't know about finicky but the lack of sensory feedback and therefore requiring looking at the display during use is for sure a concern.
As long as the touchpads work with whatever input the gloves on the pilots hand gives them there shouldn't be an issue.
It looks amazing 💙
Can i buy it in 2022 ? 😁
You could buy VTOL VR dlc.
The split collective is a bit confusing. Wonder what's going on there. And the stub wings, which are huge on this prototype, aren't carrying weapons or sensors, so why put them on there at all? I suspect the helicopter's performance would be greatly increased if these were removed.
Hate to say it, but you missed his comment at the beginning - At 180 knots, the wings provide 50% of the lift for the beast! THATS why they are there. And I agree, it looks very much like a Comanche Mk. 2 (bet if they put it into Production, thats what the crew will call 'em!)
@@WhiteWolf65 - Yep, you're right, I missed that bit. 50% of the load at speed is pretty significant. Hope to see her flying at some point, and hopefully adopted by the military. They'd be fools to pass on this one.
I'd like to see it compared with aw249 project
Can operators hook themselves up and sit on the stub wings?
TheBooban all you need is somewhere to clip onto
didiandiano thats what Im asking. And also that it can bear the weight. If you’re not aware, this was done with the Apache.
@@TheBooban yeah, I know some soldiers have done it before. Pretty cool!
It's cruise speed is 210 mph said in wiki, I wonder what it's max speed will be🤔
Wow ❤
Like this helicopters
Can’t they do away with dash displays and just have it all on the helmet HUD, (keep all tactile controls)? Should cut on costs, specially for the “optionally-manned” platforms.
Or maybe put chopper blades on soldiers head to cut cost of fuselage also , they can hold rockets and gun in each hand
@@arshverma246 Lol. Best comment here.
Hey look it's the VTOL VR helicopter.
1 Why did he keep saying airplane and not helicopter? 2, the Comanchee was dropped because the military kept adding stuff to it which changed the time to integrate the requirements and the cost went up.
How much? Will this be better than Airwolf?
Airwolf was nothing exceptional......it was just a Bell 220 with a Hollywood style makeover
@@ottoroth9377 A Bell 220 with superior TV show weapons and invincible plot armor 💪🏽
@@BillyGHill yeah i agree..Airwolf was a fun show to watch....like the fire shooting out from the turbos like fire shooting oit a sharks ass. Nice Bird! Prob fun to fly.
Tandem seating arrangement is not a new concept that goes back to Vietnam in the cobra.
A lot of Commanche dna in this incredible looking helo.
Does the interviewer know what the difference between a Helicopter and an Aeroplane is?
They need to paint one dark metallic green on the dorsal side and white below. Totally call it The Lady.
"airplane"
IKR lol
Should get it ya really should
What the heck ever happened to the Comanche that was one bad ass helicopter
Is that diamond stitched leather in a damn military helicopter?
Army:it looks to futuristic lets just add more augmentations to the ah-64
Not sure I would call this next gen compared to the current inventory
Let’s talk about the “air plane”. You mean air craft? Or air frame?
Lol A-10c replica hotas in their real chopper? Or is that just a place holder mockup
I'm pretty sure the Kiowa can go faster than 90 knots.
UFO 43 G-Force jan 8 2008 in TX Air Force we wasn't out that night . they had 10 F-16 up
Helo pilots aren't going to like a throttle style collective. Kinda wierd, but if its FBW i guess the helicopter does most of the work
I prefer this 360 Invictus Design as compared to the Raider X.
It almost seems like Bell wanted to make a real Airwolf, except for the Turbos
“...airplane.”
Sidestick looks like a Thrust master warthog.
Exactly what I thought :-)
But this copter looks cool and effective but it can’t carry 3-4 troops or cargo like the AVX, Karem, or Sikorsky products can
@@corey8420 what if advassaries of America hack those iPads Or this product?
@@user-ox9vu2gl5n I do not know if they can, but find it difficult to believe they have not thought of that scenario. I simply was starting this is not a framing hammer, but rather a finishing one. It's a specialized aircraft
@@corey8420 All theses helicopters are competing for the same bid so doesn't matter if they are different, only one will win.
@@user-ox9vu2gl5n They are just screens dude, not iPads. All aircraft have computers.
A Chaps it’s not supposed too. It’s a recon/attack helicopter.
That’s like saying the AH64 sucks as a troop transport since it’s an attack helicopter
Next Bell Helo will be the Bell 420
I thought the army wouldn't bought a pusher prop
Quite an unrealistic goal to expect manufacturer to produce a high kills ratio attack copter with low operation costs. 😮💨
Can UK have one or two 😛
The new cobra
Man he didn't even mention the gun in the front
The gun will be a 20mm cannon designed to reduce drag. From what I read the U.S Army is still taking design concepts from aviation firms until May 15th.
@@Misterbitties thanks for taking the time to reply appreciate it
They have already tests and flower .
the guy says=airplane hello
Ok envoyé moi dix-sept hélicoptères limousines rallongés blindés Super Luxe de ce modèle.
Keep the enclosed tail!!!!
