Rolls-Royce's AE1107F Engine for Bell's V-280 Valor Tiltrotor

John Shade, the executive vice president for business development and future programs at Rolls-Royce Defense, with a walk-around of the company's AE 1107F engine for Bell's V-280 Valor tiltrotor at the Association of the United States Army's 2021 conference and tradeshow in Washington, DC. The V-280 is competing for the US Army's Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft competition.

U guys had been stop their very ovvn natural earth gas distribution , rigs , and spreads lie towards to their ovvn oil rigs. Even texan state officers & governor had said in 2021 there still lot of earth natural gas. They just need access for their ovvn manufacture without foreign intervention & freely do fracking excercise.

V-280 will use FATE engine from GE, this rolls Royce engine is only being used for protyping/development because FATE engines don't exist yet.

[@bryanrussell6679]

Not necessarily. Since this is the same engine family that powers the V22, it makes sense to go with a proven design. Besides, if the V280 isn't chosen for FLRAA, it wouldn't be obligated to use the designated FATE engine.

If that were a fait accompli, then Bell would've stuck with the GE T64 engine used on the V-280 Valor prototype. The R-R AE1107F engine is more powerful than the T64, and is based upon the proven AE1107C used on the V-22 Osprey.

Can it even go with the same engine as other helicopters? The shaft tilts. Converting a traditional engine to VTOL seems like what the f35 tried to do.
