WEST PALM BEACH, Florida -- Test pilots who fly the SB-1 Defiant claim that the futuristic helicopter could get its tail shot off in combat and still fly faster than an undamaged UH-60 Black Hawk.
The Sikorsky-Boeing Defiant just performed a high-profile flight demonstration for Army leaders. And a version of dual-rotor aircraft is competing to one day replace the venerable Black Hawk as the service's new Future Long Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) under the Future Vertical Lift (FVL) effort.
