Bell为DARPA高速VTOL X-76完成设计审查,为2028次飞行测试铺平了道路。 Bell completes design review for DARPA’s high-speed VTOL X-76, paving way for 2028 flight tests.

Bell Textron已完成DARPA的SPRINT X-76方案的关键设计审查,将飞机发射到制造阶段。 Bell Textron has completed the Critical Design Review for DARPA’s SPRINT X-76 program, launching the aircraft into the manufacturing phase. X-76,一个高速、跑道独立的VTOL演示器,将使用一个带有停止/折叠转子系统的倾斜器设计,以400至450海里的速度巡航。 The X-76, a high-speed, runway-independent VTOL demonstrator, will cruise at 400–450 knots using a tiltrotor design with a Stop/Fold rotor system. 该项目与美国特别行动指挥部共同开发,旨在克服军事航空中速度和灵活性的权衡。 Developed with U.S. Special Operations Command, the project aims to overcome speed and agility trade-offs in military aviation. 施工和地面测试正在进行,计划于2028年初进行飞行测试。 Construction and ground testing are underway, with flight testing planned for early 2028. 该方案是DARPA和军事联合倡议的一部分,以贝尔数十年的X飞机遗产为基础,支持未来的先进飞机开发。 The program, part of a joint DARPA and military initiative, builds on Bell’s decades-long X-plane legacy and supports future advanced aircraft development.
