Excellent presentation!! The V280 is the future of Army aviation.

[@DrBlackbelt2nddan]

Your knowledge of future warbirds (tactical) is impressive. Where does the F117,F35 and F22 development go from here? Stealthy drones, recoverable drone platforms, etc?

[@PalmSpringsAirMuseum]

The F-35 is basically a big sensor for data. At some point it will be linked with drones - both attack and reconnaissance. Ukraine has really up ended tactical thinking regrading manned platforms - which we probably see fewer of due to the expense.

I’ve read somewhere about the V-22 having too short rotors due to design limitations, primarily the folding requirements. The V280 doesn’t have that so should be more stable I guess.
Bell is also looking at building an attack-reconnaissance drone tilt rotor similar to this. I suspect the attack and general reconnaissance roles will heavily shift to unmanned systems going forward, with the patterns and development coming from the Ukraine conflict
