The Bell V-280 Valor is a tiltrotor aircraft, developed by Bell Helicopter for the United States Armed Forces. The new aircraft is a future replacement for UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters. The V-280 has close capacity and cabin layout to the UH-60, but has significantly higher speeds and flight ranges: cruising speed 280 knots (520 km/h), range 500-800 nmi (930-1480 km). The V-280 participated in the US Armed Forces tender and was a competitor to the high-speed Sikorsky-Boeing SB-1 Defiant helicopter, defeating it.
