The Future Long Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) is the Premier Vertical Lift military program in the world.

Bell's FLRAA aircraft will become the Army's primary assault aircraft for the next 30 years, sunsetting UH-60 Blackhawk helicopters and advancing the Army's assault capabilities.

The FLRAA program is utilizing the latest in cutting edge technology to expand the United States Army's tactical advantage in future conflicts.
