The Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft (FARA) program was initiated by the United States Army in 2018 to develop a successor to the Bell OH-58 Kiowa scout helicopter as part of the Future Vertical Lift program.

07:45 ● 4. Lockheed Martin | Sikorsky RAIDER X™.
A compound helicopter concept with two coaxial rotors and a single pusher propeller, designed by the Sikorsky Aircraft division of Lockheed Martin for the United States Army Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft (FARA) program. The Raider X concept was announced in October 2019. In March 2020, the Army selected the Raider X and the Bell 360 Invictus from a field of five design concept candidates. The Raider X and 360 Invictus concepts will be built as flying prototypes for a competition scheduled for 2023.

► Role Reconnaissance and attack compound helicopter
► National origin United States
► Manufacturer Sikorsky Aircraft
► Status Under development
► Developed from Sikorsky S-97

00:49 ● 5. Skyworks Global VeriJet | Heliplane
Skyworks Global and Scaled Composites will offer their VertiJet gyrodyne aircraft for one of the US Army’s various Future Vertical Lift (FVL) competitions, according to an executive.

The VertiJet is a runway-independent aircraft that can take off and land vertically and hover similar to a helicopter. VertiJet will incorporate technologies designed and developed by Skyworks in the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency’s (DARPA’s) Heliplane programme to achieve an estimated top speed of 644 kph and a range of 1,000 nm with a maximum payload of 454 kg. Michel said Skyworks and Scaled Composites are targeting VertiJet’s unit cost for the USD6–8 million range.

DARPA’s Heliplane was designed to combine the key attributes of a helicopter and a fixed-wing aircraft: vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) and hover capability of a rotary-wing aircraft combined with high speed and efficient cruise capability of a fixed-wing aircraft. The VertiJet features twin-jet engines, a large rotor for take-off and landing, four weapon hardpoints underneath the fixed wings, and twin booms with a horizontal stabiliser.
