Army taking another stab at buying new fixed-wing utility aircraft
By: Jen Judson   4 hours ago
 
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Army is taking a second stab at buying a new fixed-wing utility aircraft after it decided not to choose an aircraft during a previous competition, according to the service’s program executive officer for aviation.

“We haven’t given up on it,” Brig. Gen. Thomas Todd, told a group of reporters at the Army Aviation Association of America’s annual summit April 26.

The service has been trying to replace its aging fixed-wing utility aircraft fleet for years and seemed close to making a decision on the way forward last year.
