| @one_bell concept for attack variant of V-280 Valor tiltrotor for @USArmy Joint Multi Role/Future Vertical Lift |
Ya know, one day the powers that be are going to get it in their heads that converting utility helicopters into gunships is a bad idea.
When that day finally arrives we're going to see some marvelous and efficient, purpose built tilt rotor gunships that will probably revolutionize aviation.
Quite honestly I don't know why Army Aviation isn't all over the tilt rotor movement. Sized properly they could cut dependence on the USAF by at least half. Everything from CAS, to long distance resupply to even some forms of Airborne forcible entry ops could be done in a single service format if they just took the tilt rotor plunge.
