  1. That isn't a helicopter genius. This is the best helicopter ever made, fastest for sure. Faster + newer more efficient engines = longer range. Think before you post.

  2. It will be far cheaper and easier to maintain.

  3.  @kentbrenden6630  Oh, my bad. The defiant is going to be the easier to maintain and less expensive. Though the V-280 is a big step forward in tilt rotors the Defiant and it's attack sister are built with the new philosophy of maintenance and procurement. So it's a leap forward and generation forward logistically while the V-280 is just by nature not able to make that same leap (yet). But it is a damn impressive bird.

  4. And then we're all going to fall off the edge of the world right?

  5. Other nations are certainly going to buy them up when the army retires them. Probably get another 50 years of of that bird.

  6. It is not. Different mission, different airframe, different everything. The only thing it has in common is a pusher prop.

  7. That was the cheyenne

  8. Completely different aircraft. The only thing they have in common is the push prop

  9. It is a fully functional aircraft, there are many videos of it including before you posted.

  10. They know what they are talking about.

  12.  @chrissmith-rv5ro  The first flight of the F-35 was in 2006 and 650 have been built. (More than some aircraft in ww2) How are you so absolutely sure when you are so completely wrong. Please stay in your lane.

  13.  @chrissmith-rv5ro  It was outright ignorance. Every single plane is always going to be in a constant state of upgrade, welcome to aviation. You know you didn't mean "they built 650 of them but the oldest ones are being improved on with newer developments and so it isn't full production." The F-35 is behind what schedule exactly? They are replacing hundreds of aircraft in dozens of countries, how fast did you, your congressman, and your ignorant click bait article writer think it was going to go? The F-35 is the most upgradable plane we have built so far, everything is single layer plug and play, it's extremely easy to work on and maintain and it vastly simplifies the supply chain. Are your goalposts now that in 20 years new things will exist? Is that really your argument against a drastic improvement and power increase in western air forces? That in 20 years something new will exist? I guess we should stick with F-16's and F-18's in your opinion? Who needs an air force that is more sophisticated, upgradable, easier to maintain, and pushed every aircraft of the previous generations and every one of our rivals air forces obsolescent. Stop trying to cover up the fact you are completely ignorant and have absolutely nothing to do with any aspect of any of this. You can get a degree in aerospace engineering or enlist in the air force and find out or just sit down and whine that your new plane isn't new enough because you read it wasn't on an english major's blog.

  14.  @chrissmith-rv5ro I am just absolutely suck of people who have zero experience in aviation, didn't go to school for it, don't work on it, have never tasked an aircraft, and have never been involved in any aircraft mission constantly spreading misinformation because they feel something. We are absolutely dominating every other country on the planet and have unbelievably high tech aircraft that no one can compete with but this whiny video game generation read articles and listened to russian propaganda and now thinks our air dominance is anything less than total. Constant whining from people who haven't ever even seen an F-35 and complaints like "limited afterburner use." ...all afterburner use is limited. Do you even know what you are talking about? It is absolutely an upgrade, it is a huge leap forward in the airpower of our country, it set every other nation 30+ years behind us. But it's just never enough for this whiny video game generation who grew up where there was only "perfect in every way, best at everything" on tv. Stay in your lane and take several seats, you don't know what you are talking about.

  15.  @chrissmith-rv5ro    I volunteered during a war when I was 17 so idk why you are accusing me of serving for benefits or talking about exclusive patriotism. It isn't a contest of who served more it's the fact you keep running your mouth. I am on this blog, right here, because people like you run their mouths, get bumped by russian and chinese propaganda accounts and then stupid video game playing kids believe it. Our country is producing the best aircraft in the world, drastically outclassing every single thing else and yet all everyone does is whine about it. Whatever goalposts you want to move the fact is you are wrong. We have built an absolutely massive amount of F-35's, in numbers and of quality that every other country can only dream about, and it isn't just on paper in 25 years, it's all flying right now. So whatever you want to nitpick your posts to actually mean it doesn't change the fact you are here badmouthing something that is blowing the absolute socks off of everything else competing and doing so in public where the Russians and Chinese accounts can jerk you off to convince less and less young kids that the us military isn't a group of incompetent bafoons. Your certificate doesn't mean anything, you were wrong, spread garbage, and are trying to pretend you weren't caught out doing just that. This isn't your private facebook or words between your buddies, this is a public forum and public declaration that will last for ten years + Some kid could read your ignorant garbage and decide maybe he doesn't want to go work in aerospace or be a pilot after all because of your whining. Imagine how you would feel if you heard all this kind of whining about the P-51, or the F-14, or whatever else. Would you have though planes are cool or would you have thought they were a big waste of money just like the Russians and chinese twitter accounts say? Stop running your mouth and we won't have any problems. You should know better.
