The success of the Army’s revolutionary new rotorcraft will depend on open architecture software standards that can be rapidly reconfigured as much if not more than on the aircraft design, according to industry and government officials leading the Future Vertical Lift (FVL) effort.FVL will eventually result in a family of futuristic helicopters with a baseline design that is then scaled to perform attack, utility and heavy-lift missions. Before that program of record gets underway, the ongoing Joint Multi-Role Technology Demonstration…
