Bell V-280 Valor made its first flight.

The management of the American aircraft company Bell Helicopter reported on the successful tests of its new military envelope Bell V-280 Valor. This unique aircraft is designed to replace mostly obsolete US helicopters, while it is assumed that this aircraft will be much more reliable than helicopters, and at the same time more efficient than turboprops.

Nevertheless, experts believe that it is extremely difficult to draw any conclusions before the completion of the test tests of the Bell V-280 Valor convertor, since Bell V-22 Osprey, currently in service with the US, has suffered several crashes this year.
