In October 2021, Bell and Rolls-Royce jointly announced that the V-280 Valor powerplant would switch from the T64 turboshaft used on the prototype to a derivative of the Rolls-Royce T406/AE 1107C used on the Osprey, which would be named the AE 1107F. At the same time as increasing power from 5,000 to 7,000 horsepower, the AE 1107 is a known ...
The Leonardo AW609, formerly the AgustaWestland AW609, and originally the Bell-Agusta BA609, is a twin-engined tiltrotor VTOL aircraft with an overall configuration similar to that of the Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey. It is capable of landing vertically like a helicopter while having a range and speed in excess of conventional rotorcraft.
In December 2022 it was announced that the winning design was Bell’s tilt-rotor V-280 Valor, [110] with the US Army awarding an initial contract to develop a prototype by 2025. [111] This award does not guarantee the eventual adoption of the V-280, which would require further contracts. [111]
In October 2021, Bell and Rolls-Royce jointly announced that the Bell V-280 Valor powerplant would switch from the General Electric T64 turboshaft used on the prototype to a derivative of the 1107C used on the Osprey which would be named the 1107F. At the same time as increasing power from 5,000 to 7,000 horsepower, the 1107C is a known element ...

The U.S. military will take its first step in getting its V-22 Osprey back in the skies. The news comes after Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin endorsed a plan for a measured return to operations.
The Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey is an American multi-use, tiltrotor military transport and cargo aircraft with both vertical takeoff and landing and short takeoff and landing capabilities. It is designed to combine the functionality of a conventional helicopter with the long-range, high-speed cruise performance of a turboprop aircraft.
But the V-280 is not meant as a replacement for the Osprey. Might as well compare its specs to that of the Black Hawk. If a comparison table is deemed necessary at all , it would perhaps be better to make a comparison of VTOL aircraft in general (Bell V-15, Bell V-22, Leonardo AW609, V-280, etc.) MichielN ( talk ) 09:42, 11 December 2024 (UTC ...
