Since World War II, Bell Textron Inc., a Textron Inc. company, has proudly supported the United States Army. Recently, Bell participated in the 250th Army Birthday celebration and showcased the Future Long Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) designated as the MV-75 by the U.S. Army. The event, held on the National Mall, highlighted Bell’s history of innovation as this aircraft gives the U.S. Army a capability and performance not available to them today.
The MV-75 was the center of the display. “This aircraft exemplifies our commitment to advancing military capabilities and strengthening our partnership with the Army. We look forward to continuing this legacy of innovation and collaboration,” said Jeff Schloesser, executive vice president, Strategic Pursuits, Bell.
