Combat Range: 500–800 nautical miles
Strategically Self-Deployable: 2100+ nautical miles
High/Hot 6k/95F Hover Out of Ground Effect (HOGE) Performance
Useful load of 12,000+ lbs and sling load of 10,500 lbs
Triple redundant fly-by-wire flight control system
Cost efficiency comparable to AH-64E and Special Ops UH-60M
Reduced complexity, cost, and sustainment expenses
Enhanced situational awareness and sensing technologies

Bell V-280 Valor: The Future of Vertical Lift
The Bell V-280 Valor offers twice the speed and range of conventional helicopters, enhancing operational agility and enabling a wide range of vertical lift missions.
