The company is continuing ground testing ahead of anticipated first flight this year.
On October 26, the Bell Helicopter V-280 Valor tiltrotor prototype aircraft successfully achieved controlled conversion from 95 to 75 degree pylon and back at the company’s Amarillo, Texas facility. This conversion allows for full hover and low-speed agility maneuvering. (Photo: Bell Helicopter)
