DARPA's high-speed VTOL SPRINT aircraft receives X-76 X-plane designation
DARPA has assigned the designation X-76 to the Speed and Runway Independent Technologies (SPRINT) project, a Bell ...
The X-76 is the latest in a long series of experimental X-planes developed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).
As science fiction technology quickly continues becoming real, the U.S. military now has plans for an experimental plane taken straight out of video games.
Planned to fly in 2028, the X-76 will explore technologies for fast-flying runway-independent aircraft with folding rotors, crewed and uncrewed.
Bell and DARPA announced the completion of the Critical Design Review (CDR) for the SPRINT aircraft, and its new name: X-76.
