This is an airplane. This is a helicopter. Both are. Meet the new wafer soldier of the army "Flraa" to achieve future long-range air strikes. This is how the Army will escape China on the Pacific Island. By the way, Chinese President Xi Jinping has nothing.

In announcing amazing news, the army made more than 40 generals and opened the door to AI. The army bet on the radical aircraft, with its engine spinning to take off and land like a helicopter, or flying high and high like an airplane.

The plane entered Army stockpiles in the early 2030s.

Then there is the Army reorganization. On May 1, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth directed the army to focus more on the Indo-Pacific. In that area, pure distance and Chinese missile threat rings are locking in the current helicopter. Mission for air strikes - When troops ride rotary wing aircraft into hostile and controversial areas, the hard fact is that the army has an imminent capability gap.

Last year, General Brett Sylvia, commander-in-chief of the 101st Airborne Division (Airborne Attack), said: “We can’t actually carry out large-scale long-range air strikes at the speed and distance required for modern warfare.”

Given Xi Jinping's growing demand for military confrontation, this is unacceptable.

Therefore, the army now hopes to revolutionize its aircraft as soon as possible. On Wednesday, May 7, Army Chief of Staff Randy George told Congress that he wanted to upgrade it for a few years “to the 2028 time frame.” Army Secretary Dan Driscoll said he met with general contractor Bell Textron and talked about an emergency order.

It's easy to understand why. The acronym Army said the "Flraa" would fly 1,700 nautical miles without refueling and carry 12 passengers at 300 mph. Comparing it to the Black Hawk helicopter's 183 mph, it's replacing it. For pilots, the extra range, speed and survivability of the Detroit is a huge improvement on the helicopter. With the help of wafer-like shape, they can amplify the entire battlefield of war space anytime, anywhere under any conditions.

You may be familiar with the V-22 Osprey, which first flew in 1989 and is now flying by Marines, Navy and U.S. Air Force Special Operations Forces. As the first to operate porcelain, the V-22 had high ups and downs, but there was no doubt that the V-22 proved itself in the battle in Afghanistan. In another vivid example, in 2013, three combat-damaged Air Force MV-22S flew 500 miles from South Sudan to Ndebu, Uganda, and sprayed fuel to save the lives of injured naval seals.

No wonder the army rushed to the bottom and pulled the concept.

However, the Army FLRAA is a brand new design based on the prototype V-280 Valor, which was first flying in 2017. It is slightly smaller than the V-22, and its 47-foot body consists of aluminum structure and carbon fiber composite skin.

The biggest advancement of “Flraa” is the tilt mechanism. On the older V-22, the Nacelle housing of the entire engine is huddled. For Army planes, the headache disappeared. Two engines Nacelles remained on the wings. Only the propeller rotates to switch between helicopter and aircraft modes. This is much safer, and the improved rotor design also improves agility and maneuverability in low-speed flights in helicopter mode.

Another major difference is that the Army's Detacher was designed as multiple Mission aircraft. Door guns on both sides are marked as dedicated air strike platforms. In sharp contrast to the V-22 with only tailgun. The new Army porcelain also comes with what is called a "launch effect", which is military jargon for various drones, such as the release of self-protection bait to divert enemy fires, sensor drones to hunt targets, drones, of course electronic warfare drones, and of course weapons drones for killing.

With its range capability, Army Ceramic Tiles can drive these drones into the depths of war space. The software is important considering drone operation, so the aircraft has a digital backbone of an open system that can be plugged into a new system at any time.

What's more interesting is that Flraa has the potential to fly by itself. At 240 juncture, it can be deployed from Hawaii to the Philippines in 20 hours. In the future, "Flraa" may also be able to deceive itself, fly automatically with drones and rejoin the theater with crew at the advance location.

The army sees the Pacific Islands like a chessboard. If China threatens to threaten, the diagonal length is "Flraa" that can quickly transfer soldiers to disputed areas and prevent Chinese troops from taking over.

Now the army only needs to give its radical new aircraft a proper name.
