Sept. 7 (UPI) -- A new fixed-wing tiltrotor aircraft from Bell Helicopters for the U.S. Army, the V-280 Valor, has been completely built and will conduct its first flight this fall, Bell reported this week.
"The V-280 was designed to provide our military with the speed, range and operational productivity needed to complete any mission and outmatch every opponent," the company said in a press release.
