Bell Helicopter Exhibits V-280 Tiltrotor Mockup At Army Aviation Summit

Full-Size Model Will Be Shown In Attack And Utility Configurations

Bell Helicopter will display its full-size mockup of the Bell V-280 Valor next generation tiltrotor aircraft at the 2015 Army Aviation Mission Solutions Summit in Nashville, TN March 29 – April 1.

“The Army Aviation Summit provides us with a great opportunity to engage with current and future Army aviation leadership,” said Mitch Snyder, executive vice president of Military Business at Bell Helicopter. “This unique event gives us the chance for precise, in-depth discussions on what the next generation of tiltrotor can deliver in support of the U.S. Army’s operating concepts and future doctrine.” Throughout the show, the V-280 mockup will be shown in both attack and utility configurations, demonstrating the aircraft’s versatility and multi-mission capability to attendees.

The annual event will be held at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel and convention center and will host representatives from 22 countries.
 
The first flight of the next generation tiltrotor is scheduled for the second half of 2017. The V-280 tiltrotor will provide unmatched speed, range and payload, along with unmatched agility at the objective. The aircraft will provide the best value in operations and maintenance costs, and is being designed with sustainability, affordability, and ease of manufacturing in mind.
