NEW ADVANCED US Military transport helicopter concept

A new concept transport helicopter has been unveiled for the US military in the United States. AVX employs a horizontally integrated manufacturing strategy that utilizes a large compliment of world-class aviation industry team mates. By teaming with experienced aerospace companies for development of the AVX JMR/FVL design (see image below), AVX keeps the cost of development and eventual production of the aircraft lower than our competitors while delivering the highest levels of performance by the aircraft.

FVL (Future of Vertical Lift) Program by the US Armed Forces seeks to develop replacement vertical lift aircraft for the aging USA Armed Forces helicopter fleet. the precursor for the FVL is the JMR (Joint Multi-Role) Helicopter Program providing technology demonstrations. This video reveals the AVX Aircraft Company’s answer to that challenge.

THE AVX JMR AIRCRAFT
The AVX design offers the capabilities the Army wants for the future fleet of utility and attack aircraft at a very attractive price. The AVX JMR aircraft has entry doors on both sides of the fuselage as well as a large rear ramp for easy cargo handling. Additionally it has retractable landing gear and the attack variant (see below) carries all armaments stored inside until needed which provides a “clean” aerodynamic design.

UTILITY PERFORMANCE
The illustration below visualizes the configuration for the AVX FVL in “Utility” performance mode. Notable are its specifications for payload capacity, forward speed, takeoff/landing performance and ease of maintenance.

ATTACK PERFORMANCE
The illustration below visualizes the various configurations available for the AVX FVL in “Attack” performance mode. Notable are the retracted armaments and ramp for better aerodynamic performance and ease of loading, respectively.

The United States Armed Forces[1] are the federal military forces of the United States. They consist of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Coast Guard.[7] The United States has a strong tradition of civilian control of the military. The President of the United States is the military’s overall head, and helps form military policy with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), a federal executive department, acting as the principal organ by which military policy is carried out. The DoD is headed by the Secretary of Defense, who is a civilian and Cabinet member. The Defense Secretary is second in the military’s chain of command, just below the President, and serves as the principal assistant to the President in all DoD-related matters.[8] To coordinate military action with diplomacy, the President has an advisory National Security Council headed by a National Security Advisor. Both the President and Secretary of Defense are advised by a seven-member Joint Chiefs of Staff, which includes the head of each of the Defense Department’s service branches as well as the chief of the National Guard Bureau. Leadership is provided by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.[9] The Commandant of the Coast Guard is not a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

All of the branches work together during operations and joint missions, under the Unified Combatant Commands, under the authority of the Secretary of Defense with the exception of the Coast Guard, which is under the administration of the Department of Homeland Security and receives its operational orders from the Secretary of Homeland Security. However, the Coast Guard may be transferred to the Department of the Navy by the President or Congress during a time of war.[10] All five armed services are among the seven uniformed services of the United States, the two others being the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps (under the Department of Health and Human Services) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Commissioned Officer Corps (under the Department of Commerce).

From the time of its inception, the military played a decisive role in the history of the United States. A sense of national unity and identity was forged as a result of victory in the First Barbary War and the Second Barbary War. Even so, the Founders were suspicious of a permanent military force and not until the outbreak of World War II did a large standing army become officially established. The National Security Act of 1947, adopted following World War II and during the Cold War’s onset, created the modern U.S. military framework; the Act merged previously Cabinet-level Department of War and the Department of the Navy into the National Military Establishment (renamed the Department of Defense in 1949),
