I thought the Army wanted the FLRAA to have a top speed of 250 knots, and potentially up to 280 knots. However I was advised today that the Army was dropping the requirement down to 230 knots. Can any one confirm?
Honestly, other than that Sikorsky press/media day, I can’t find an official looking requirement for 230 knots. Everything I can find says 250 knots as a threshold speed and 280 knots as objective. Has the Army given them a lower bar to clear?
