Future Vertical Lift

Intended to be a replacement for the UH-1Y and AH-1Z helicopters. The following designs were presented to NAVAIR AViation/Ship Integration by NAVAIR Warfare Analysis and Integration Department. FVL concepts were analyzed aboard LHA/LHD and LPD ships. It is believed that the FVL aircraft will be one of the JMR aircraft.

Advanced Tiltrotor (Attack and Utility Variants)


High Efficiency Tiltrotor (Attack and Utility Variants)


Lift Offset Compound


Joint Heavy Lift

Designs presented to NAVAIR Aviation/Ship Integration in 2007 and 2010. Aircraft designs were analyzed on LHA/LHD and CVN ships.

Boeing Advanced Tandem Rotor Helicopter


Boeing Quad Tiltrotor


Karem Optimum Speed Tiltrotor


Sikorsky X2 Crane (X2C)


Sikorsky X2 Super Heavy Lifter (X2SHL)


Joint Multi-Role

JMR was intended to be a family of aircraft that replaced various US military helicopters. Multiple proposals were submitted, and the design concepts chosen were the Bell V-280 Valor (which is a 91% sized version of the Bell JMR proposal) and the Sikorsky SB-1 Defiant.
