Bell completes first wings for initial pair of MV-75 test aircraft
Structures for next-generation tiltrotor were built at airframer’s Amarillo production site in Texas. Rotorcraft specialist Bell has completed the assembly of two wing structures for the MV-75 Cheyenne II tiltrotor for the US Army as it builds towards a first flight within the next two years. Bell says an initial wing was completed in February with a second structure following in recent weeks. Critically, the airframer says it built the wings significantly more quickly than those on its current-generation tiltrotor, the V-22 Osprey it jointly developed with Boeing.
