Bell Textron has unveiled design concepts for new aircraft systems for military applications that would use Bell’s High-Speed Vertical Take-Off and Landing (HSVTOL) technology.

HSVTOL technology blends the hover capability of a helicopter with the speed, range and survivability features of a fighter aircraft.

“Bell’s HSVTOL technology is a step change improvement in rotorcraft capabilities,” said Jason Hurst, vice president, Innovation. “Our technology investments have reduced risk and prepared us for rapid development of HSVTOL in a digital engineering environment, leveraging experience from a robust past of technology exploration and close partnerships with the Department of Defense and Research Laboratories.”

Bell’s HSVTOL design concepts include low downwash hover capability, jet-like cruise speeds over 400 kts, true runway independence and hover endurance, and scalability to the range of missions from unmanned personnel recovery to tactical mobility. Aircraft gross weights range from 4,000 lbs. to over 100,000 lbs.
