Bell and US Army Advance Development of V-280 Valor

The V-280 Team Has Executed A Flight Test Program Flying More Than 200 Hours

Bell is executing the second phase of a Competitive Demonstration and Risk Reduction contract to inform the imminent program of record competition for U.S. Army’s Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA). Bell Textron and the U.S. Army have agreed to terms on the execution of the second phase of the Competitive Demonstration and Risk Reduction (CD&RR) contract that was awarded in March 2020 for the Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) program.

Demonstrations Were Conducted At Embraer's Gavião Peixoto Site

Embraer is claiming another important milestone in the development of the KC-390 Millennium multi-mission military freighter program with the successful conclusion of the aerial refueling qualification between two KC-390 Millennium, proving, for the Brazilian Air Force (FAB), this new operational capacity of the aircraft. The in-flight refueling capacity between two aircraft of the same model using inflight refueling underwing "pods" is unique in this category. This allows KC-390 Millennium operators to expand their logistical transport capacity and during search and rescue operations.
