The U.S. Army announced that the Bell V-280 Valor tiltrotor won the contract for its long-range assault helicopter program, while the Air Force unveiled its B-21 stealth.
Fox News congressional correspondent Chad Pergram has the latest on the approved military spending bill that will lift the mandate requiring troops to receive the COVID-19 vaccine on 'The Evening Edit.'
Bell, a subsidiary of Textron Inc., will receive $232 million for the initial contract award and up to $1.3 billion to continue producing designs and prototypes of the V-280. That figure may rise to $7 billion as the aircraft enters low-rate production. The V-280 Valor was designed to have a higher speed and longer range than the UH-60 Black Hawk, which was demonstrated by prototypes of the tiltrotor helicopter. Its design includes improvements based on lessons learned from the V-22 Osprey tiltrotor that's already in service with the Air Force, Marine Corps, and Navy, in addition to Japan's ground forces. If the rest of the V-280's development proceeds as planned, it will likely enter service in the mid-2030s.
