#BellFlight won the Future Long Range Assault Aircraft #FLRAA competition this month. The competing companies received their first funded design studies in 2011. A lot has changed over those years, but the @VTOLsociety has been supporting FLRAA and the overall #FutureVerticalLift (#FVL) program it all along the way.

Read our latest commentary by VFS Executive Director Mike Hirschberg (@vstol).
