Absolutely outstanding presentation! Those who had the misfortune to work at Sikorsky know something along these lines likely happened.

| 00:00 - 00:03 | The Bell V-280 flew years before Defiant |
| 00:04 - 00:05 | and hits all agility |
| 00:05 - 00:07 | and speed requirements. |
| 00:08 - 00:12 | Many Army pilots have experienced Valor’s performance |
| 00:12 - 00:15 | during years of extensive flight testing. |
| 00:17 - 00:19 | The US Army is ours. |
| 00:19 - 00:21 | Defiant-X will be victorious. |
| 00:24 - 00:26 | My Füher… |
| 00:27 - 00:28 | The Army |
| 00:31 - 00:33 | The Army selected V-280 for FLRAA. |
| 00:34 - 00:36 | We have been defeated. |
| 00:53 - 00:58 | The following stay in the room: Defiant-X PM, CE, and partner Presidents. |
| 01:13 - 01:15 | They chose a fucking tiltrotor? |
| 01:15 - 01:17 | We are Army aviation and you lost it! |
| 01:18 - 01:23 | You engineers told me that X-2 Technology works! |
| 01:25 - 01:28 | That the problems of the XH-59A were solved. |
| 01:29 - 01:31 | You engineers have lied to me. |
| 01:31 - 01:34 | Admit it. Defiant is a piece of shit. |
| 01:34 - 01:37 | The industry laughs at Defiant’s speed and size! |
| 01:37 - 01:40 | The propeller, the transmission, the blades |
| 01:40 - 01:42 | We designed the best FLRAA X-2. |
| 01:42 - 01:46 | Why the fuck did it take so long to produce blades? |
| 01:46 - 01:48 | We used advanced robotic technology… |
| 01:48 - 01:52 | And what the fuck are those outrageous rotor loads!? |
| 01:53 - 01:54 | Did you read books?! |
| 01:56 - 01:57 | Your gearboxes barely work, |
| 01:57 - 02:00 | your main rotor head is weak and heavy, |
| 02:00 - 02:03 | and the clutch is nothing but trouble. |
| 02:04 - 02:08 | All your drag and performance analysis was wrong! |
| 02:08 - 02:13 | Even with wind tunnel testing and analysis, our cruise speed is shit. |
| 02:14 - 02:16 | We have an aircraft that can’t even hit Vh. |
| 02:17 - 02:21 | Bell even showed good agility at the X. That was our claim! |
| 02:27 - 02:29 | The Army now has tiltrotors. |
| 02:30 - 02:34 | We used to be leaders and now we can’t meet their needs. |
| 02:34 - 02:36 | X-2 Technology wasn’t mature! |
| 02:41 - 02:42 | This is a disaster. |
| 02:43 - 02:47 | Other militaries will order tiltrotors and the performance floor |
| 02:48 - 02:53 | will be forever raised for tactical aviation. |
| 02:54 - 02:56 | The tiltrotor is the right solution. |
| 02:56 - 02:59 | A winged aircraft with speed and range we can’t match. |
| 03:00 - 03:02 | And what do we have? Too many blades! |
| 03:04 - 03:07 | Don’t worry, we can still upgrade H-60’s. |
| 03:14 - 03:16 | A fucking wing. |
| 03:19 - 03:23 | A rigid rotor of this diameter simply isn’t practical. |
| 03:25 - 03:26 | Perhaps FARA works. |
| 03:31 - 03:33 | We need to develop a new approach. |
| 03:40 - 03:46 | Something winged but not used in service by any military today. |
| 03:46 - 03:49 | Something never been shown practical. |
| 03:53 - 03:56 | Perhaps a tilt wing. |
