Bell Textron Inc., a Textron Inc.

As part of the collaboration, SNC will specifically support the design and development of mission systems for HSVTOL variants.
Bell’s HSVTOL vehicles blend the hover capability of a helicopter with the speed, range and survivability features of fighter aircraft, with low downwash hover capability and jet-like speeds of more than 400 kts. This family of scalable aircraft concepts is designed to carry out USAF and USSOCOM missions across the full spectrum of conflict and political scenarios, including personnel recovery, contested logistics and ISR/Strike.

[Podcast] Cuando l'Armée de l'Air voló aviones del enemigo. Con Niebla de Guerra. Archivo Sonoro de Sandglass Patrol 16
miércoles, 7 de septiembre de 2022
Si la política hace extraños compañeros de cama, la guerra y la necesidad hace casi milagros, como que todas las armas del que otrora fuera tu enemigo, pasen a tu arsenal y las utilices como buenamente puedas.

En otros casos, terminó de producir los aviones que estaban a medias de montar en líneas de montaje francesas, como los Fw-190 renombrados NC-900. ¿Queréis saber más? Acompañadnos en este episodio.
