I like this design over the compound coaxial helicopter shown yesterday. It looks faster, more aerodynamic, and probably has a lower radar signature from the front. It would be even nicer if it had an ISR pod on top of the rotor assembly so the helicopter could peek over mountain tops or tree lines, laser designate targets without exposing the entire aircraft.
SoCalFreelance why can get that information from the eyes in the sky... Awacs F 35 aegis satellites...the can sit back and have the information fed right to the cockpit
I prefer the coaxial rotor design by Sikorsky, the SB-1 Defiant. Just seems like a bigger step forward in design. I'm curious which one has a higher top speed and better payload capacity.
Felicitaciones a los ingenieros de Bell por crear tan perfecta aeronave futurista a la perfeccion invictus es increiblemente perfecto por donde se lo vea Bell 360 invictus es perfecto👏👏👏 saludos ingenieros.
With any luck, we'll at least purchase a few of them. Fast and cheap is always good to have on-hand. I wonder if they'll put stealth paneling on it? Then it basically is a 2022 Comanche. Also, I approve of anything that looks like it came from Command and Conquer.
You know I have seen other concepts of similar helicopters but what I want to know is why they didn't follow through with the Dual propeller idea they had by stacking two propellers on top of each other that spin opposite directions
He stated at the start, they were trying to keep it as simple as possible and by introducing another rotor head on top it gets kinda complicated, has it's positives but complicated!!
The apache has 4 different weapons system but this looks only like it's just got 8 missile and a cannon also does it have chaff/flares and a ir jammer. looks great steath too but at what cost it going to be more then £46 million. But it about time there's going to be a new gunship because the apache both UK and US will go about 2035.
Jollyroger Hobbies Able to reach the stratosphere, supersonic speeds, and stealth capability this chopper can’t touch it. It be nice if that stuff was real but I think it even had a cowl induction hood which made no sense on a Helicopter. . But looked cool either way
You probably never heard of Research & Development, testing phases, corrections, more testing phases, practical tests etc... 3 years is rather quick...
It’s helicopter not video game building those things especially ones for military use takes time usually a decade so these guys are working pretty fast
when did the f22 or f35 begin their design phases...and tell me when the first flight in service was? just so you get a lil bit of an understanding of what the time it took, just type in "YF-22" then check when the "F-22 first flew and notice the gap between when the program to develop it started and when the finished product entered service. we're talking 20ish years here...
I thought it looked like the Comanche. It’s cool but, he didn’t mention anything about noise reduction and it only has one physical item that our current attack helicopters don’t have.
Noo...its cobra updated.. a lot of the features look like it's an updated Cobra the engine the intakes the exhaust a lot of it the slim profile. It looks like an updated Cobra with some of the Comanche features
I feel like the RAH-66 could just be updated a bit and win this competition strictly on the fact most of the R&D is already completed for it. Throw in a modern engine and modern avionics, and boom your helicopter is ready for service.
I’ll take a civilian law enforcement version minus the weapons platform maybe then we won’t get as many complaints about noise when supporting ground search and trail
But then a Bell-only offering for the FVL and FARA would have a scout helicopter that is both slower and shorter-ranged than the primary utility rotorcraft.
So which one will be the dedicated Army Attack aircraft that does what Apache do but on a scaled up level! This FARA is light attack/ recon specialty aircraft, but I be the Army screw this up again, instead of having a 3 design process they will pick one design to do 3 things,which is good, o fly if it's done with common sense and greed not involved. A co axial dedicated attack platform will be a serious competitor on a battlefield especially when complemented by FARA and an Assault Transport entering an AO . Just would like to see common sense applied to the buying and R and D process.
It looks better than the horrible pusher tail rotor seen on another project... Tail rotor is copyrighted Eurocopter this is the french "fenestron" design that was introduced by Gazelle and Dolphins helicopters... In early 70s
affordability should not be a central criterium. Pilots are and always will be less replaceable than the machines they are flying. So you should be looking to multiply the combat capability through the machine as much as you can no matter the cost, until you reach a point where it takes as long to build the machine as it takes to educate the pilot. Just my two cents from studying WW2; present and future wars might be different but I don't see a scenario where cheaper aircraft gives you an advantage unless we're talking transport or drones (where pilots are not exposed). Different story with ground/sea forces ofc.
Mr President we now have a stealthy helicopter platform Trump: So you can’t see it right Yes, Mr President, it’s a stealth aircraft Trump: so if it’s invisible, how will the pilots find where they parked it
Yeah that 20mm will be very useful... There are videos that show how you need over 10 30mm exploding rounds to neutralize an enemy. That 20mm is just dead weight
@Omar Ignacio Silvestrini A carbon based lifeform. There is a video where apache helicopter was shooting at a guy and he kept running while rounds were exploding around him. Dont know whether rounds do not produce enough shrapnel or they dig into ground too much before exploding but they were not effective.
@@BettyBettyBoBetty what a waste of money and resources. Did they even use them for anything other than training? Wonder if the F35's are going to follow the same fate or not.
Looks like a soft version of the LHX (Comanche)
First thing I thought off.
Same here.

I've seen this helicopter many years ago. They were calling it RAH-66 Comanche back then.
Nice design with advance technology & super concept. Should be next generation helicopter.
I used to work for IHS Markit and Jane's Defense is fascinating software.

It’s got nothing on airwolf or blue thunder
It's beautiful
It looks like some design features from the Sikorsky Comanche helicopter were incorporated. There are similarities.
This is beautiful and it's based on the comanche.
Why is the rear propeller tilter is that normal on helicopter? Is it called rotor?
Awesome to see such great innovations from Bell.
i like the design philisophy and how we could probably produce a shit ton of these very good choppers in a hurry
With any luck, we'll at least purchase a few of them. Fast and cheap is always good to have on-hand. I wonder if they'll put stealth paneling on it? Then it basically is a 2022 Comanche.
Also, I approve of anything that looks like it came from Command and Conquer.
Could be my daily driver. What's the GPM?
So if the Cobra and Comanche had a baby...
Army: Yes please😃
The RAH-66 Comanche replacement?
no doubt...its similar to the Boeing-Sikorsky RAH-66 Comanche helicopter
the army should pick this one. And that rotor looks likes its from the Comanche
It all looks like the commanche, lol.
@@QuantumAscension1 Yep, look like a facelift.
@Joshua Ngau Ajang Boeing, Sikorsky
Do those wings have flaps?
Why 20mm? Minimum weight?
why have wings if nothing will be attached?
so it is in the end a modernised updated comanche.......
Had a Dream about learning to fly one like that.
Verify Truth make it real :)
Why no Eurocopter camera? Shooting behind a mountain is pretty good...
Are Bell had relation with Dell?
Not to mention , it is just damn scary looking and cool.
Mike
Does it come with a 9 channel kickass Bose system tho??
only if you upgrade to the lx model
Could a reboot of Airwolf can use this helicopter?
Where can I buy one ?
You know I have seen other concepts of similar helicopters but what I want to know is why they didn't follow through with the Dual propeller idea they had by stacking two propellers on top of each other that spin opposite directions
He stated at the start, they were trying to keep it as simple as possible and by introducing another rotor head on top it gets kinda complicated, has it's positives but complicated!!
So...why was the Comanche canceled?
One word 'Politics' !
Looks almost air wolfish !!!😎
Nichols Cage just can’t wait for this new bird!! “I am the greatest! I am the greatest! I AM THE GREATEST!!! I AM THE GREATEST!!!!!!!!!!”
Sin City Guns loved that movie!
If Top Gun can get a sequel then so can Fire Birds!
360 Invictus sounds like a gaming console. Does it come with RGB and Mountain Dew Dispenser?
command and conquer is real..
4 real. I still play C&C Generals after 15 years. “China will grow larger”...here we are today.
Dumebi Ogwu I just play it last night. Rise of The Reds. Great mod.
How bout those Rocket pods .
High speed, low drag !
The apache has 4 different weapons system but this looks only like it's just got 8 missile and a cannon also does it have chaff/flares and a ir jammer. looks great steath too but at what cost it going to be more then £46 million. But it about time there's going to be a new gunship because the apache both UK and US will go about 2035.
So a weaker comanche?
Why did I think of the old show Air Wolf when I saw this? Weird
I have no idea. The lady looked nothing like this. Infact, the lady is much cooler and more beautiful
Jollyroger Hobbies Able to reach the stratosphere, supersonic speeds, and stealth capability this chopper can’t touch it. It be nice if that stuff was real but I think it even had a cowl induction hood which made no sense on a Helicopter. . But looked cool either way
@@sonicroad5209 yes it did. It did look cool
Agree, this looks nothing like Airwolf! She was based on, admittedly a Bell but a Bell 222!
Looks like a camera taking over real sight will be interesting... I would go for back end monitor
Wish I could paint my renault clio in that colour
Airwolf had an additional propulser!😀
I also like the one in the movie Avatar.....But don't know if it's even possible to build .....
I want one. How much?
If you have to ask, you can't afford it.
" Schedule is king "... Won't have a flyable one for 3 years.
That's how aerospace do.
Most designs are decades old. Some single engine monoplanes are 60-70 year old designs.
Thats insanely fast
You probably never heard of Research & Development, testing phases, corrections, more testing phases, practical tests etc... 3 years is rather quick...

This dude has some freaky eyes he's staring into my soul

RAH-66 v 2.0?
I use to play the Comanche game for PC it was more than 12yrs ago. I thought it looked cool at the time
the millennial son of the comanche?
Illegitimate Son then
eerily precise !
@@cyberpunkalphamale And the Raider is the child of the Cheyenne, instead of the Commanche.
i hope it has a better attitude though... :)
NO!
What does this offer that drones don't? It is gonna have less time on station. It offers more firepower maybe, but for a shorter duration.
Mock up....
Comanche was out 30 years ago
Noo...its cobra updated.. a lot of the features look like it's an updated Cobra the engine the intakes the exhaust a lot of it the slim profile. It looks like an updated Cobra with some of the Comanche features
So is Sikorsky just gonna stand by and watch?
Or are they gonna introduce a modernised version of the RAH66 Commance and compete for the contract?
I feel like the RAH-66 could just be updated a bit and win this competition strictly on the fact most of the R&D is already completed for it. Throw in a modern engine and modern avionics, and boom your helicopter is ready for service.
Reminds me of the RAH-66 Comanche in a lot of ways.
That's what I was thinking.... almost seems like the same
I’ll take a civilian law enforcement version minus the weapons platform maybe then we won’t get as many complaints about noise when supporting ground search and trail
Comanche 2: Invictus Boogaloo. Still a cool looking helicopter though.
I would hate to work on that
Just me o r does this look exactly like the chinese recon heli?
Comanche exist
@@randomnickify Looks nothing like Comanche.
The new Airwolf
I’ll take 2 please
The commanche is dead..... And will never be ma..... Wait a second..... This is a mk2!
I see through your duplicity!
this and the raider will be competing against each other
That ones pretty sexy
Raider is meant to replace the black hawk. Not the Apache
Reminds me of the one from Zero Dark 30
But then a Bell-only offering for the FVL and FARA would have a scout helicopter that is both slower and shorter-ranged than the primary utility rotorcraft.
Invictus, so no longer naming them after Indian tribes? Kinda looks cool, a modern Apache type chopper.
2:10 guy uses wing as desktop for his laptop 😐
spotted the airman
So which one will be the dedicated Army Attack aircraft that does what Apache do but on a scaled up level! This FARA is light attack/ recon specialty aircraft, but I be the Army screw this up again, instead of having a 3 design process they will pick one design to do 3 things,which is good, o fly if it's done with common sense and greed not involved.

looks like the comanche 2.0
It's from bell, the RAH-66 was from Boeing-Sikorsky. As far as i know Bell have never made a helicopter with a fan tail.
Smack the 30mm m230 on and it would probably be the best heli in the world.
What I see is a flyable Nautilus of Capt. Nemo.
Looks like a fiberglass mockup.
I smell Chinese already copying this
And they gonna sell it dirt cheap with delivery fee included.
actech Probably a Anime version of this! 😂
RAH 66 Comanche looks way much more sexy. It looks like people forgot how to do the helicopters this days.
Commanche was unreliable, and WAYYYY too expensive.
helipoters
Cool
INVICTUS BY BELL AIRCRAFT TURBINE ENGINE BY GE
Should be part of the joint strike force.
I want a swarzkoff so bad
Hey Bell! Do the U.S. a huge favor and keep the specs. for this bird out of the hands of foreign spies... *cough-cough China/Russia cough*
Cliff Campbell those two countries run our government 🤷🏿♂️😂
very sleek.
BELL ALWAYS QUALITY! SLEEK AND LOW DRAG.
It looks better than the horrible pusher tail rotor seen on another project...

Take off the tail rotor ad two blades to the main rotor and a tail duct.
Seems a lot like the Comanche
I'd use it but not as my shtf vehicle..
Cross between the AH-56 Cheyenne & RAH-66 Comanche. Cheers!
It's beautiful...but it's no Apache.
Cool, now let me see it blow stuff up
Mr President we now have a stealthy helicopter platform

Should have named it AirWolf
Most affordable. Costs more than I make a lifetime.
Gerard, I don't think you're getting the big picture man and don't forget it's modular :)
Nah, trust me I do. Just found what he said to be ironic that’s all
@@gerardw.7468 yeah affordable is certainly a matter of perspective. Easier when you have other peoples' money :D
I still think airwolf is the best american helicopter.
We built Airwolf
Looks like it would be cheaper to maintain than the raider. As a taxpayer, I like it.
our army could use these with the end of the Tigers now in service
I still haven't seen one. Didn't we get 12 of them years ago from Europe or something?
@@AsttoScott yeps but they are being phased out
@@BettyBettyBoBetty what a waste of money and resources. Did they even use them for anything other than training? Wonder if the F35's are going to follow the same fate or not.

If America had the choice they would buy the whole show
