Can you be specific and pass along where the 280 is more maneuverable than the UH-60? Weight, speed pitch rate/roll rate/yaw rate etc.
Thanks.
The reports are that V-280 has met of exceeded of the JMR KPPs, and Army has stated from the beginning that those agility requirements exceed those the UH-60 is required to meet. I don't know if actual hard numbers achieved will be available until after final selection since they are competition sensitive so I suspect everyone is going to talk in somewhat genreal terms until then.
