The video shows a helicopter. What’s the point or releasing this video without showing horizontal flight?

Thanks for the posting, gaijin.

I’m a Bell retiree (’65-’01) and I worked on the development and deployment of the XV-15 and the V-22, and now the V-280 has been hatched.

Only two of the XV-15’s were produced to prove the concept. One was severely damaged when a tornado hit our flight research facility. The other one is in the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in D.C.
