| PENTAGON: A sleek little model sits on the desk of Lt. Gen. Jon "Dog" Marine Commanders have such cool nicknames! Davis, Marine deputy commandant for aviation. What is that, we asked? The next tiltrotor Bell Helicopter Textron hopes the Marine Corps will buy. But it's not the V-280 Valor, the new manned tiltrotor Bell plans to fly next year. It's an unmanned tiltrotor designed to give the Marines a drone that can do everything the Air Force's armed MQ-9 Reaper does - and more. Especially taking off and landing from ships or from land where there's no runway. |
