worth it It is worth mentioning that in the 2023 National Defense Authorization Act of the United States, the U.S. Army requires Bell Helicopter Company to produce its next-generation helicopter, the V-280 helicopter, to replace the current "Black Hawk" helicopter. Compared with the Black Hawk that will be replaced, the V-280 has overwhelming advantages in performance, higher speed, longer combat range, and more passengers. The V-280 has a transition range of nearly 4,000 kilometers and can deploy globally on its own, which is beyond the reach of other helicopters.

If the V-280 enters service, the strength of the U.S. Army Air Forces will undoubtedly become stronger.
