Army’s small helicopter of the future may have flown in Alabama today
Updated Apr 15, 2021;
The sleek, twin-rotor helicopter hovering at steep angles and zooming at 200 mph over the Redstone Army Airfield in Alabama today could be one of the military’s helicopters of the future. If it is, that will be in large part because a team at Redstone wanted it that way.
After long, grueling wars in the Mideast that pushed its current helicopters to the max and beyond, the Army is on a mission to upgrade to new helicopters with the latest innovations in technology and electronics. It’s the Army’s third-highest priority for the future, and Redstone is the headquarters of the U.S. Army’s Future Vertical Lift Cross Functional Team. They’re the ones assigned to make it happen.
