DONT GET ME WRONG - ALL OF THE HELOS HERE ARE AWESOME - I came here to review all the Future Vertical Lift entries after being initially disappointed that Bell's V280 Valor beat out the Sikorsky Defiant X , I have a strong preference for Coaxial Rotors, and although Tilt-Rotors are cool , and very futuristic, it's hard for many to move past the many horrific incidents the Osprey suffered. Like someone else mentioned here, the DoD likes to keep many of the big players in business and will often spread contracts out even if they aren't technically the best design in order to keep the factories flowing and competition healthy. Here's the bottom line ; I think the V-280 valor is a better replacement for the UH-60 BlackHawk, I think it's a great troop and cargo transporter, can get troops quickly in and safely IN & OUT of the fight. I think the Raider X is a better option for the attack helicopter. The invictus has a few problems I don't like, first of all I HATE ASYMMETRICAL Designs ( The traditional Single rotor and Tail rotor for Anti-Torque ) The tail rotor is THE ACHILLES HEEL of many traditional heli designs, they are easily destroyed even by small arms fire, and even a nick in the tail rotor induces unctrollable torque + certain DEATH. The coaxial Rotor is one of the greatest inventions ever, the Ka-50 Blackshark can have it's entire Tail boom blown off and still get home safely. The invictus is small and stealthy, which is good in some situations, but I think the Raider X can carry MORE weapons, has the option of small crew or cargo transport which the invictus does not, and has greater speed and maneuverability. I think for most situations the Raider X is the superior design for ATTACK platforms. I hope it wins , and It will be AMAZING to hopefully see both the V280 and the Raider X in the field , and maybe even War movies.

@@hiei5040 Let's examine the crash numbers from the last 10 years The Army operates about 2,100 UH-60's including the national guard and special operations: >The current Army Acquisition Objective, or AAO, for its UH-60 Black Hawk fleet currently sits at 2,135 aircraft. The Navy has about 550, and the Air Force has about 100. Lets call it a total fleet of about 2,800. There are about 450 V-22's across all variants. Roughly 6.25 times smaller of an overall fleet so the 60's would have to crash 6.25 times more often to make the rate equal. Over the last 10 years, here's how the two airframes compare for accidents: V-22: 7 crashes H-60 : 51 crashes For the 60 to crash less it would have had to keep their number below ~44 If you want to talk about a rough start the Blackhawk had 20+ crashes in its first 6 years of service. If you want to talk about fatalities the C-130 has killed more people in the last 10 years than the V-22 has and we operate less V-22s. The V-22 Osprey only had 1 catastrophic mechanical failure since it entered service.

Sikorsky's Raider X, if slimmed down for an attack chopper, is a best answer for theArmy'sFARA program. It is faster and can carry a heavier arms and ammunition load than any other similar attack chopper now existing.

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.

It's because if you have the double main rotors spinning opposite ways you no longer need a tail rotor to counter the torque. Meaning no tail no problem, or at least it won't be a good excuse for being unable to survive. It also means the tail can either be removed or used as extra space for additional speed like pusher props. Essentially we're still probing out the best middleground of rotary and fixed wing aircraft

The V-280 can be thought of as the successor to the V-22 osprey as well as its design solves many of the issues. It wont replace the V-22 but future system designs may use it instead of the V-22. I will admit you have disclosed more helicopter variations than I was aware of. Just note that some sources have reported that the V-280 has already won and the competition is crying fowl.

As well as both electronic-warfare and advance passive active sensors systems, plus new digital flight by wire flight control systems and new state of the art weapons too, even increase onboard fuel tanks with a removable in-flight refuelling probe that can be installed quickly to give extended range and endurance too. To provide Tier One US Special Forces, a clear advantage over any of the international Islamic Terrorist Groups, or over the likes of the Chinese, Russians, or the North Koreans and Iranians, in any future West East conflicts or wars. With the new “MH-6R” or the "Little Black Bird" ready for anything, plus can have a flight of four or six of "MH-6R's" helo's plus their pilots and ground support crews and necessary SF Operators too. Can be anywhere in the world, within 24-hours from the United States, via C-17's and C-5's or by C-130J's flying West over the Pacific Ocean or East over the Atlantic Ocean too. The only question is will the new "MH-6R" replace only the older "MH-6's" only, or will a fleet of new "MH-6R's" replace older "AH-6's" too? Maybe a second question, will these new "MH-6R" helo's, be offered to Nato and other American Allies own Special Aviation Units too?

@@coreyjacobs2718 The main issue in my opinion is that the 280 doesn't have the same LZ profile that the Blackhawk does, it occupies an LZ profile closer that of a Chinook because of how wide it is, meaning it couldn't perform the same kind of tight operations in smaller Landing Zones as the Blackhawk despite being a replacement for said helicopter, just because it is faster doesn't make it better, there are plenty of other considerations, I am pretty sure it would be much easier for pilots to learn to fly the Defiant as well compared to the tilt rotor design of the 280. Also compared to the size of its landing zone I would say the transport capacity it has it too small given that you will need to land in larger LZs meaning you are likely going to be more exposed or scarce on choice, also the pusher prop provides the Defiant better low speed manoeuvrability compared to the 280 which can be vital in a tight LZ or even fly leveled while still moving around meaning it would be easier for gunners to engage threats from the air.

@@ilo3456 however speed and distance are just as important factors as the size of a landing zone factors which the 280 stands heads and shoulders above the defiant.

@@coreyjacobs2718 In my opinion it is less of an issue, because even if it faster and has longer range, if it can't be land in an LZ of the same size as those that the Blackhawk uses then it can't really replace it as it no longer meets the same mission requirements as the Blackhawk. So in my opinion the Defiant should replace the Blackhawk as the Medium Transport Helicopter of the US Army, while the 280 should be made into a Heavy Lift Platform capable of leveraging it's dual tilt rotor design to be able to carry heavier cargo and a larger amount of troops. Simply put if you can't land in the same LZ as the Blackhawk you are leaving an operational gap which will need to be filled up by a different helicopter anyways, so you can't really justify picking the 280 over the Defiant, since the 280 due to its larger landing footprint leaves an operational gap which is quite important.
