A clean wing would unload 50% of lift from the rotor at top speed. Optionally piloted As a scout/attack helicopter the Invictus would have a crew of two but would also be able to be optionally piloted for maximum flexibility in future missions. The 360 would also reuse the triplex redundant fly-by-wire (FBW) from the V-280 Valor and 525 Relentless. Weapons The Invictus would feature a nose-mounted 20mm cannon, as well as an internal weapons bay for Hellfire class-guided munitions. The stub wings could also carry additional missiles.

This would be used as an APU on the ground, as well as for providing additional power for dash speeds, hover performance or in autorotation emergencies. Shrouded tail rotor The tailrotor would feature a canted ducted Fenestron-style configuration, for low noise and stability in the hover. W DEFENCE Bell reveals 360 Invictus Bell has unveiled its proposed concept for the US Army’s FARA (Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft) programme – the 360 Invictus. The high-speed 360 Invictus features a shrouded tail rotor, internal weapons bay and a clean wing, as well as retractable landing gear. It would be armed with a 20mm cannon and Hellfire class missiles. Using stub wings, an additional engine would give a dash speed over 200mph.

  • A Nation of Aviation Pioneers
    ICAO TIE-INS By Albert Pelsser Romania - A nation of aviation pioneers At the beginning of the 20th century, Romania was among the few nations in the world which brought essential contributions to aviation and flying because there were people who dedicated their life and work to fulfilling the human desire to fly and developing aviation. Among the most well-known inventors who contributed to the flight development by means of apparatuses heavier than the air, Traian Vuia, Aurel Vlaicu and Henri Coanda played a distinct role. In parallel to the above developments, schools of piloting were established and airships from other countries were purchased, with provision for specially designed workshops for the maintenance and repairing of aircraft. The first school of piloting was initiated by the Romanian lawyer Mihail Cerchez, after his return from Paris in the summer of 1909. It started its activity in the spring of 1910, on the field near Chitila, where the first aerodrome of the Romanian aviation was settled. Once the infrastructure for the construction and repair of the airships had been completed, Mihail Cerchez purchased four aircraft from France: two biplane Farman aircraft that were intended to carrying out the training flights of the future pilots, one Demoiselle aircraft and a Wright aircraft for the ground instruction. Second Lieutenants Ştefan Protopopescu and Gheorghe Negrescu were among the first six military pilots trained. Cerchez also obtained that the Farman aircraft be assembled in his workshops. Chitila’s infrastructure in 1911. Farman IV biplane. Having obtained their Pilot Licences in July 2011, Protopopescu and Negrescu, along with other pilots, participated in military maneuvers on Farmans in the fall of 1911 and carried out a series of raids to popularize aviation among youth and to maintain a high degree of readiness among pilots.
