the V-280 is done being built, and is now being tested in flight.
bell has said that they plan to be finished by 2030.]]> 2018-01-04 16:43:24 UTC https://padlet.com/natjbro0422/awesome_project/wish/218785240 natjbro0422 https://padlet.com/natjbro0422/awesome_project/wish/218789730 the V-280 was created by Bell Helicopter for the US department of Defense. it is being created for the vertical lift program of the US military. it was partially funded by a government grant. bell is collaborating with multiple companies, including lockeed martin, in the VALOR program.]]> 2018-01-04 16:58:37 UTC https://padlet.com/natjbro0422/awesome_project/wish/218789730 natjbro0422 https://padlet.com/natjbro0422/awesome_project/wish/218975728  was invented for the US military. it can take off vertically or horizontally. it can also take off fairly quickly. it will be used by the military to transport troops and equipment to places that they cant reach by using a normal plane or helicopter]]> 2018-01-05 16:24:47 UTC https://padlet.com/natjbro0422/awesome_project/wish/218975728 natjbro0422 https://padlet.com/natjbro0422/awesome_project/wish/218977444 was successful. it was tested in Amarillio Texas. but that is the only flight so far. the operational date for the V-280 is 2030.]]> 2018-01-05 16:30:43 UTC https://padlet.com/natjbro0422/awesome_project/wish/218977444 natjbro0422 https://padlet.com/natjbro0422/awesome_project/wish/218982957 has not been released to the public yet, as it is stealth technology, but they have released a few things.
they are using an infared suppresor and are looking for ways to decrease the heat of the engine, so that infared sensors cant see it. they are trying to make the fueslage a shape that would be hard to target with anti-aircraft guns.
and they are putting cameras all around it so that the pilot and any soldiers riding in it can have a 360 view of their surroundings]]> 2018-01-05 16:49:35 UTC https://padlet.com/natjbro0422/awesome_project/wish/218982957 natjbro0422 https://padlet.com/natjbro0422/awesome_project/wish/218986418 https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/defense/2017-02-10/bell-v-280-valor-prepping-flight-test-program

the fueslage was not created by bell. so when they attached the wings  they had a harder time than if they made it themselves.]]> 2018-01-08 16:21:48 UTC https://padlet.com/natjbro0422/awesome_project/wish/219419426 natjbro0422 https://padlet.com/natjbro0422/awesome_project/wish/219429733 cockpit control system is just a giant touchscreen, allowing the pilot to customize the configuration. the touchscreen also allows the pilot to look out of the 360 cameras. personally, i disagree with this choice because touchscreens are sometimes not responsive or too sensitive. which is bad when your life and others lives are at stake.

there is a drive shaft running along the back of the wings, allowing one engine to power both propellers in case of engine failure.]]> 2018-01-08 16:38:46 UTC https://padlet.com/natjbro0422/awesome_project/wish/219429733 natjbro0422 https://padlet.com/natjbro0422/awesome_project/wish/219437861 2018-01-08 16:53:32 UTC https://padlet.com/natjbro0422/awesome_project/wish/219437861 natjbro0422 https://padlet.com/natjbro0422/awesome_project/wish/219439447 2018-01-08 16:56:16 UTC https://padlet.com/natjbro0422/awesome_project/wish/219439447
