The thrust compounded single-main rotor helicopter boasts a six-bladed rotor system, a single engine, tandem seating and a modular, state-of-the-art cockpit with a reconfigurable large area display and autonomous capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re offering more than a helicopter \u2013 we\u2019re offering an affordable and fully integrated system for the Army, the mission and the future. We\u2019ve blended innovation, ingenuity and proven rotorcraft experience with extensive testing and advanced analysis to offer a very compelling solution,\u201d said Mark Cherry, vice president and general manager of Boeing\u2019s Phantom Works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fly-by-wire design leverages more than 65 years of rotorcraft experience, proven advanced and additive manufacturing technology, and product commonality driving down risk and costs. The system will provide seamless capability within the Army ecosystem to include Long-Range Precision Fires and air-launched effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe listened to the Army, assessed all alternatives, and optimized our design to provide the right aircraft to meet the requirements,\u201d said Shane Openshaw, Boeing FARA program manager. \u201cWe are offering a very reliable, sustainable and flexible aircraft with a focus on safety and the future fight.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FARA will fill a critical gap in Army aviation for an advanced light attack and reconnaissance capability, previously held by the now-retired Bell OH-58D Kiowa Warrior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information about Boeing FARA and its features, visit\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"www.boeing.com\/FARA (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.boeing.com\/FARA\" target=\"_blank\">www.boeing.com\/FARA<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/1-1-1-scaled.jpg?fit=640%2C640\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7690\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/1-1-1-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/1-1-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/1-1-1-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/1-1-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/1-1-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/1-1-1-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/1-1-1-2048x2048.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boeing [NYSE: BA] is offering the U.S. Army an agile, fully integrated, purpose-built system for the Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft (FARA) prototype competition.
