Bell has unveiled three “High-Speed Vertical Take-Off and Landing” aircraft design concepts.
The renderings, as well as new performance details, come several months after FlightGlobal reported that the US Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) contracted Bell to research a similar idea and follows a flurry of related patent filings from the manufacturer.

Bell’s High-Speed Vertical Take-Off and Landing concept aircraft could be manned or unmanned, large or small
The company claims its High-Speed Vertical Take-Off and Landing aircraft could blend “the hover capability of a helicopter with the speed, range and survivability features of a fighter aircraft”. Such a system would be capable of “low-downwash hover” and “jet-like cruise speeds over 400kt [740km/h]”, the manufacturer says.
