![]() Model kits and diecast helicopters were also based on that concept image. This was the very first rendering, published by The Aviationist hours after the raid.Īlthough it was based on a few surviving chunk of metal and fantasy (hence fairly inaccurate and resembling an S-76 more than an MH-60), the initial sketch went viral: I was interviewed by media all around the world and the sketch itself was used by news agencies, newspapers, TV broadcasters, documentaries, as if it was the real portrayal of the still secret Stealth Black Hawk. ![]() With the help of Ugo Crisponi, an artist at, I imagined what the full stealthy chopper would have looked like after applying the tail section and rotor revealed by the photographs, along with imaginary engine shields, rotor covers, an extra main rotor blade (to slow down the rotor speed making blades quieter) and some imagination. What happened next, at least for us it’s very well known: this Author began studying the possible shape of the MH-X or “Stealth Black Hawk” or “Silent Hawk”, immediately after the first pictures of the helicopter’s tail section appeared online. Navy Special teams a platform to penetrate, unseen, the Soviet Air Defenses and hit naval installations and harbours. ran a series of black programs aimed to give the U.S. Navy SEALs tried to destroy the crashed helo to hide its technology, the tail section survived the attempt to blow it up because it had fallen outside of the compound giving the world the opportunity to have a glance at an advanced technology developed since the Cold War era, when the U.S. As it did, the tail and rotor hit on one of the compound’s 12-foot walls. They are also raising concerns about the likely funding needs for Bell’s tilt rotor V-280 Valor, which was almost double the estimated costs of Sikorsky’s prototype Defiant-X.Indeed, as often explained since then, the tail rotor had an unusual cover that could be anything from an armour plate to a noise reduction cover sheltering the motion-control technology used to input low-frequency variations of rotor blade pitch-angle, as tested by NASA the blades were flatter, and not wing-shaped, whereas the paint job was extremely similar to the kind of anti-radar paint and Radar-Absorbing Material coating used by the most modern stealth fighters.Īccording to the few official statements released in the aftermath of the raid, the helicopter did not suffer any failure but skittered around uncontrollably in the heat-thinned air forcing the pilot to crash-land. “We are focused on driving innovation and delivering the transformational RAIDER X for the Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft, modernized Black Hawks and future technology critical to mission readiness for the United States and Allied nations,” the statement continued.īut members of Connecticut’s congressional delegation still sought more answers at a Wednesday briefing and kept up the pressure on the Army. Army, and serving their missions remains our top priority,” a Lockheed Martin spokesperson said in a Tuesday statement. ![]() We value our long-standing partnership with the U.S. “We are disappointed with the Government Accountability Office decision and remain convinced that our DEFIANT X offering represented both the best value for the taxpayer and the transformational technology that our warfighters need to execute their complex missions.
