What do you mean? The V280 is significantly faster, longer ranged, and carries more troops, and in theory can land the same number of it's airframes in a landing zone as the Blackhawk. The Defiant has proven to be more technically complex and has had far fewer test flights. I think the only win they have is the weight sling loaded against the Valor. Valor also has the longest distance traveled in one flight as well. This is a close competition.
@@generalrendar7290 sorry for my poor wording, that's exactly what I was trying to say lol, if you have range and speed you don't need as much logistical support
@@generalrendar7290 unfortunately, however, my army friends would rather fly the sb1 because it's more traditional. My personal view is that the v-280 sets the best precedent for what future combat craft will be like but either way, I foresee distributed electric craft (most heavy, long range with centel apu-generators) taking over shortly after either of these come to fruition.. but id love to see them
I ♥️ Compound Helicopters, and Tilt Rotors.
really hope they win. Bell dropped the ball on FLRAA.
how did they drop the ball
Yeah you don't see any of the vids talking about speed or range or the need for much fewer logistical support when you do have both of those

DEFIANT X👍
Defiant still have chance to replace MH-60 Seahawk. More safety.
Hell yeah.
🇺🇲 Awesome.
Hehe, You lost.
