Aviation Week article on HEX includes an image with a 4-rotor tilt-wing and a conventional helicopter (looking very S-76-ish) with the hybrid drivetrain https://aviationweek.com/aerospace/emerging-technologies/sikorsky-reveals-hex-tiltwing-demonstrator-configuration

Bell at least can point to V-22 as an example of a folding tilt-rotor which can fit into a fairly compact space, and possibly they've learned enough to make the packaging work a little better in a new generation design. Sikorsky-LM can't really cite any similar precedent, they either have to...

Bell has a far better fall back position in the civil sector than any of the other rotorcraft vendors. Surprisingly Boeing has the most risk as they have no civil rotor craft programs to speak of. Not surprising of Mr. Sikorsky to wave off on tilt rotor not because of militarily but in civil...

What if????? Those paintings got me to wondering how it would fly if you installed the tail rotor in a hole (fenestron) cut in one half of the V tail? Think of the tilted tail rotor on Sikorsky CH-53 ... which helps adjust pitch trim. Pitch trim is important on cargo helicopters that frequently...

Boeing Teams with Sikorsky on JMR program http://www.shephardmedia.com/news/rotorhub/sikorsky-boeing-team-us-armys-jmr-td/ Nice way to hedge your bet. As Boeing is also teamed with Bell on Tilt-Rotor there is a good chance now that Boeing will be involved in the Joint Multi-Roll effort...

Actually there are five JHL concepts in three speed bands. The Sikorsky X2 Lifter and Boeing ATRH (Advanced Tandem Rotor Helicopter) at <170 knots The Sikorsky X2 High Speed Lifter in the 170-240 knot band The Bell/Boeing QTR (Quad Tilt Rotor) and Karem Industries OSTR (Optimum Speed Tilt...

Sikorsky will promote the CH-53K as the heavy solution. Boeing will advocate a larger CH-47 (already some NATO work done in this regard). Bell may or may not even consider participation, however if they did, I would expect them to advocate a Tilt Rotor.

No idea. I haven't followed the 609 that closely. This is the first I heard they bought Bell out of the project.

@Scott Kenny - size growth might reduce the number of ships that would be accessible. It would also have to auto-fold per USN shipboard requirement. If "the juice is worth the squeeze" for the expense I would agree larger more productivity to the fleet would be warranted. I think that the...

ooooohhhhhhh thank you that makes so much more sense as far as i know they have never done that thx!
