SOFX The Crossroads of Special Operations
Bell and Lockheed Martin’s Sikorsky have been competing for years over the FLRAA competition. Bell’s V-280 Valor tiltrotor had their first flight three years ago and Sikorsky and Boeing’s SB-1 Defiant coaxial helicopter flew for the first time in March of 2019. Bell and Lockheed Martin are also competing in another area with their 360 Invictus and Raider X.
