The Bell V-280 Valor is a tiltrotor aircraft being developed by Bell Helicopter and Lockheed Martin for the United States Army's Future Vertical Lift (FVL) program. The aircraft was officially unveiled at the 2013 Army Aviation Association of America's (AAAA) Annual Professional Forum and Exposition in Fort Worth, Texas. The V-280 made its first flight on 18 December 2017 in Amarillo, Texas.
NO GYROSCOPES
One more unfinished replica from me.
Use Throttle to take-off and standart Pitch-Yaw-Roll controls to control it in vertical mode.
Use VTOL up to drop some speed in horizontal flight and try to use it as a plane. It just doesn't work.
This thing is incredibly stable and maneurable in vertical mode but it's a goddamn brick in horizontal flight. Literally.
And also it has custom landing gears. Just to know.
And yeah. I'll finifsh the design in the future somewhen.
