This is America's New Helicopter To Replace The A-H 64 Apache
The US military is operating many types of helicopters, but this is expensive. Some of them like the Chinook heavy-lift helicopter have been around for a very long time and have been extremely successful.
Others like the Apache attack helicopter are symbols of the Army's power. Still others like the Black Hawk are internationally acclaimed and remind us of the famous movie Black Hawk Down.
But all of these and more are beginning to show their age, consequently a replacement — the "Future Vertical Lift" — is being developed to replace many of these rotary-wing aircraft with one very ambitious platform. The design requirements for this new helicopter are extremely demanding and are pushing the limits of modern engineering. The Army is considering multiple designs — including a tilt rotor helicopter like the iconic V-22 Osprey.
Here are surprising facts about the "Future Vertical Lift" the replacement for the legendary Chinook and Apache helicopters.
