Bell Showcases MV-75 FLRAA and Flight School Next Solution at Army Aviation Industry Days

While the U.S. Army and Team FLRAA are moving forward with the MV-75 FLRAA, Bell is also moving out on the Army’s Flight School Next program and attended the Army Aviation’s Industry days to showcase our vertical lift solutions. Industry Days provided an exciting platform for Bell to discuss the transformative capabilities of the MV-75 FLRAA and demonstrate how our innovative Flight School Next training solution tackles the challenges of the current Army trainer and curriculum.

Bell and the U.S. Army are closely collaborating to deliver the MV-75 FLRAA to warfighters. Following the recent delivery of MV-75 FLRAA virtual prototypes, the team is continuing to move forward as they look toward completing the critical design review (CDR). Industry days enabled Bell to have in-depth discussions with the Army about how the MV-75 FLRAA will support the warfighters with speed, range, and lethality.

The MV-75 FLRAA represents the next generation of Army Aviation with unmatched capability that will transform how the service completes multiple missions including troop transport and MEDEVAC. Its modular open systems approach (MOSA) enables the Army to rapidly and affordably upgrade the weapon system to ensure overmatch for decades to come.

As partners, it is crucial for Bell and the Army to be closely aligned on the MV-75 FLRAA. The Army needs this capability in order to be effective on the modern battlefield. By working alongside the Army, Bell can develop the weapon system the warfighter needs.

Bell is leading the charge for Flight School Next, working with several industry leaders, including V2X, DigiFlight, Delaware Resource Group (DRG), Alpha 1 Aero and TRU Simulation. By leveraging Bell’s proven 505 and previous experience in providing military training solutions, along with our collaborators’ expertise in various disciplines, we can execute a modern, high-tech, and rigorous training program.

The Army got hands-on with the 505 during industry days and witnessed its effectiveness in training pilots to enhance their operational readiness and fundamental flying skills, including emergency maneuvers. Beyond understanding how student pilots could fly the 505 to build their skills, the Bell team highlighted its safety enhancements aimed at protecting pilots as they undergo their training.

While the 505 attracted major attention with its impressive flight demonstrations, it is only one component of Bell's comprehensive solution for the Flight School Next program. Utilizing modern training technology and Bell’s proven training approach, the Army can produce a new generation of aviators who are confident and prepared for dynamic and challenging combat environments.

With a history of providing military training aircraft dating back 70 years, Bell deeply understands the U.S. Army’s training needs. From the H-13 to the UH-1 and TH-67, Bell has proven itself as a trusted partner delivering purpose-built solutions with tremendous results. Bell looks to continue this legacy by partnering with the Army and working together to develop training solutions grounded in operational reality and setting student pilots up for success.

Bell supports our warfighters with cutting-edge vertical lift solutions that empower them to complete their missions. Bell was selected to deliver the MV-75 FLRAA, a revolutionary solution for the maneuver force that enables Long-Range Large-Scale Air Assault. For Flight School Next, Bell intends to bring a revolutionary solution to training Army Aviators.
