Interesting development for our AASLT troops and the 101st. I remember seeing a prototype last October in DC and it was prerrrtttyy sweet.

The increased capabilities are definitely something to look at, wondering how the increased width of the system will affect urban mobility. Guess we need to focus on SPIES/FRIES.

It looks like a Blackhawk mated with an Osprey and this it's child. :) What's it called and how much whining has USAF done so far? :)

H-h-h-m-m-m, thinking as a former member of the SPEC-4 Mafia.........that aircraft has fixed wings, which gets Army Aviation back into fixed wing aircraft.......which weakens the USAF argument and means we can potentially steal the A-10 from the USAF easier......lol

Army aviation already has fixed wing aircraft. It’s a C-12
