SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 25 (Xinhua) -- Sikorsky and Boeing on Monday released details of its advanced helicopter for the U.S. Army's Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft competition, known as FLRAA.
The aircraft, named DEFIANT X, will be the fastest, most maneuverable and most survivable assault helicopter in history, an announcement said.
DEFIANT X flies twice as far and fast as the Black Hawk helicopter it is designed to replace, according to the announcement.
The U.S. Army is expected to release a request for proposal on FLRAA later this year, with a contract award expected in 2022, Boeing said. Enditem
