AVX Aircraft, L3 Technologies reveal Leap-Ahead design:
17 April, 2019: L3 Technologies and the AVX Aircraft company have unveiled their innovative compound coaxial helicopter (CCH) design, which is competing for Phase 1 of the US Army Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft (FARA)-Competitive Prototype (CP) programme competition.
The new design solution will surpass the reconnaissance and light-attack mission of FARA with a high-performing and survivable platform. AVX-L3 CCH will meet all the mandatory requirements and exceed 70 per cent of them.
The CCH design, rigorous engineering and production processes and certifications will offer a safe, performance-driven, affordable aircraft which will operate in highly contested airspace and degraded environments for prolonged periods.
"This FARA-CP solution provides L3 and AVX an opportunity to demonstrate the agility and innovation that sets our team apart in support of the U.S. Army's modernisation priorities," said Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of L3 Technologies, Christopher E. Kubasik. "We are collaborating to deliver a prototype that provides powerful leap-ahead capability for our warfighters at an affordable life-cycle cost."
"We are extremely pleased to reveal the design for this very important U.S. Army programme," said AVX CEO and Chief Engineer, Troy Gaffey. "AVX and L3 provide unique engineering design skills and manufacturing expertise that will provide the Army with an advanced, lethal and affordable reconnaissance and light-attack platform."
