00:00.500 --> 00:03.250
The Bell  V-280 flew years before Defiant

1
00:04.000 --> 00:05.500
and hits all agility

2
00:05.650 --> 00:07.500
and speed requirements.

3
00:08.000 --> 00:12.000
Many Army pilots have experienced Valor’s performance

4
00:12.900 --> 00:15.500
during years of extensive flight testing.

5
00:17.500 --> 00:19.000
The US Army is ours.

6
00:19.000 --> 00:21.500
Defiant-X will be victorious.

7
00:24.750 --> 00:26.500
My Füher…

8
00:27.500 --> 00:28.500
The Army

9
00:31.000 --> 00:33.500
The Army selected V-280 for FLRAA.

10
00:34.000 --> 00:36.000
We have been defeated.

11
00:53.000 --> 00:58.500
The following stay in the room: Defiant-X PM, CE, and partner Presidents.

12
01:13.000 --> 01:15.000
They chose a fucking tiltrotor?

13
01:15.250 --> 01:17.750
We are Army aviation and you lost it!

14
01:18.750 --> 01:23.250
You engineers told me that X-2 Technology works!

15
01:25.250 --> 01:28.000
That the problems of the XH-59A were solved.

16
01:29.250 --> 01:31.000
You engineers have lied to me.

17
01:31.500 --> 01:34.000
Admit it. Defiant is a piece of shit.

18
01:34.750 --> 01:37.750
The industry laughs at Defiant’s speed and size!

19
01:37.500 --> 01:40.500
The propeller, the transmission, the blades

20
01:40.500 --> 01:42.750
We designed the best FLRAA X-2.

21
01:42.750 --> 01:46.250
Why the fuck did it take so long to produce blades?

22
01:46.500 --> 01:48.790
We used advanced robotic technology…

23
01:48.790 --> 01:52.000
And what the fuck are those outrageous rotor loads!?

24
01:53.000 --> 01:54.500
Did you read books?!

25
01:56.000 --> 01:57.750
Your gearboxes barely work,

26
01:57.750 --> 02:00.500
your main rotor head is weak and heavy,

27
02:00.500 --> 02:03.500
and the clutch is nothing but trouble.

28
02:04.500 --> 02:08.000
All your drag and performance analysis was wrong!

29
02:08.750 --> 02:13.500
Even with wind tunnel testing and analysis, our cruise speed is shit.

30
02:14.000 --> 02:16.750
We have an aircraft that can’t even hit Vh.

31
02:17.500 --> 02:21.750
Bell even showed good agility at the X. That was our claim!

32
02:27.000 --> 02:29.000
The Army now has tiltrotors.

33
02:30.500 --> 02:34.000
We used to be leaders and now we can’t meet their needs.

34
02:34.500 --> 02:36.500
X-2 Technology wasn’t mature!

35
02:41.000 --> 02:42.500
This is a disaster.

36
02:43.000 --> 02:47.500
Other militaries will order tiltrotors and the performance floor

37
02:48.500 --> 02:53.000
will be forever raised for tactical aviation.

38
02:54.000 --> 02:56.000
The tiltrotor is the right solution.

39
02:56.500 --> 02:59.750
A winged aircraft with speed and range we can’t match.

40
03:00.000 --> 03:02.500
And what do we have? Too many blades!

41
03:04.750 --> 03:07.500
Don’t worry, we can still upgrade H-60’s.

42
03:14.250 --> 03:16.250
A fucking wing.

43
03:19.250 --> 03:23.250
A rigid rotor of this diameter simply isn’t practical.

44
03:25.550 --> 03:26.750
Perhaps FARA works.

45
03:31.500 --> 03:33.750
We need to develop a new approach.

46
03:40.750 --> 03:46.250
Something winged but not used in service by any military today.

47
03:46.500 --> 03:49.000
Something never been shown practical.

48
03:53.750 --> 03:56.000
Perhaps a tilt wing.
