DARPA's High-Speed VTOL SPRINT Aircraft Receives X-76 X-Plane Designation
DARPA has assigned the designation X-76 to the Speed and Runway Independent Technologies (SPRINT) project, a Bell proof-of-concept technology demonstrator for a high-speed tiltrotor. The DARPA ...
Planned to fly in 2028, the X-76 will explore technologies for fast-flying runway-independent aircraft with folding rotors, crewed and uncrewed.
We got a glimpse at what a new cross between a helicopter and a jet aircraft might look like after Bell released a new image. It's of a model used in wind tunnel tests of its entry in DARPA's Speed ...
The advances of Aurora’s demonstrator ensure that the company’s fan-in-wing VTOL experiments will extend well beyond DARPA’s SPRINT. Aurora Flight Sciences, a Boeing subsidiary, is poised to redefine ...
The Pentagon’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) selected Bell Textron to proceed with Phase 2 of its Speed and Runway Independent Technologies X-plane project, which involves a ...
