18 декабря 2017 г. на территории производственно-испытательного центра Amarillo Assembly Center компании Bell Helicopter состоялся первый самостоятельный полет летательного аппарата с поворотными роторами V-280 Valor. Новая машина создается в рамках американской военной программы Joint Multi Role Technology Demonstrator (JMR-TD) и рассматривается в качестве потенциальной замены ряда вертолетов армейской авиации.
V-280 N280BH (c/n 60105) in the hover at Amarillo on December 18, 2017. Bell has designed the V-280 with its T64 engines fixed in the horizontal plane, and a rotating (tilting) nacelle housing a fancy new drive system for the three-blade proprotors. On the V-22 Osprey, the engines are housed in the nacelles and rotate together.
Bell’s first Valor prototype (registration N280BH, c/n 60105) is seen hovering during flight testing. This angle provides a good look at the tiltrotor’s design, which follows a compound fuselage complete with a V-shaped tail instead of a tail rotor. The platform features side doors instead of a ramp and a tricycle landing gear, which is retractable. If selected, the V-280 would be the US Army’s first tiltrotor aircraft -

The V-280 prototype transitions between flight modes during a test flight. When configured for forward flight, the tiltrotor will be able to fly faster and manoeuvre like a fixed-wing aircraft. When configured for hovering, the Valor will have the same flight characteristics as a helicopter

The V-280 passes at high speed. This third-generation tiltrotor employs a remarkably different design to other aircraft in its class, such as the Osprey. It uses a V-tail, smaller wings and a sleeker, compound fuselage. It is also smaller than the V-22.

The future success of US Army air assault rests with Bell’s V-280. It brings high-speed, long-range, and the capability to be upgraded throughout its operational service due to its digital architecture. The prospect of being able to operate at long distances over the sea will be a new avenue for army aviation

First flying on December 18, 2017, the V-280 completed 214 flight hours over three years before being retired. It flew at least one test mission autonomously driven by computer algorithms. The platform’s software performed all the mission tasks of a routine no-combat mission without pilot input, although a pilot was onboard as a safety precaution

Bell points out that the V-280’s tiltrotor technology is a significant step beyond that of the V-22 Osprey. With the V-280 just the props and drive shaft tilt to achieve vertical flight, with the engines remaining in place and according to the OEM, this will significantly reduce maintenance on the platform

Bell Helicopter's V-280 Valor prototype, N280BH, successfully achieved controlled conversion from 95° to 75° pylon and back, allowing for full hover and low-speed-agility manoeuvring. The aircraft will continue ground run testing at the company's Amarillo Assembly Center, where it will undergo a series of functional tests running all aircraft systems and flight controls in preparation for first flight.

В отличие от поступившего на вооружение конвертоплана V-22 Osprey, на новой машине (на фото - ее макет, показанный на выставке AUSA-2014) двигатели будут неподвижными, а поворачиваться будут только воздушные винты. По расчетам, скорость полета V-280 будет составлять около 520 км/ч, боевой радиус - 1,5 тыс. км, а перегоночная дальность - 3,9 тыс. км.

The speed and range of the V-280 will make it the ideal medevac platform for the US Army. Within the medical community, the first 60 minutes after a serious injury is called the ‘golden hour’ - FLRAA will be able to get the casualty to advanced medical care fast as it can operate at twice the speed of current UH-60s

This concept image provides an early glimpse of what multi-domain joint operations with both the 360 Invictus and V-280 Valor would look like in an operational combat environment. The former would be used to penetrate and weaken enemy air defences, while the latter would forward deploy ground forces and equipment into the battlespace

The US Marine Corps is interested in the concept and foresees the aircraft replacing its current fleet of utility and attack platforms. For the moment, however, Bell is focused on the US Army’s requirement, which may see the development of the so-called AV-280, a specialist attack derivative
