Army’s Black Hawk Tiltrotor Replacement Passes Development Milestone
While enthusiasm to replace the Army's Black Hawk helicopters with a high-speed tiltrotor may not be great news riding on the heels of a recently released V-22 Osprey accident report, the firm says they're making good headway on the Future Long Range Assault Aircraft, getting the US Army's Approval to move on to Milestone B. "Milestone B" is a part of the 'Major Capability Acquisition process', and comes along after Bell and the Army "decompose requirements, reduce risk and inform the weapon system acquisition".
