Description

This panel will explore the future of the U.S. Navy rotary community and future vertical lift. With the advent of the V-22 tilt rotor and other advances, helicopters are primed to deliver new capabilities. Amidst evolving mission requirements, the future rotary force must establish new ways to provide contributions to the collaborative net kill web. Stop by their space on the exhibit floor in Hall G to talk with the pilots and see and touch a Sierra and Romeo.
