"Anyone who has maintained a Black Hawk or Chinook will immediately see it. Chaparral is just easier to maintain. Fewer mechanical systems and fewer people required. That means less time on the ground and more time on the mission." - @USArmy Veteran Joe Lovotti
Elroy Air is at T-REX 26-2 and Chaparral is already flying! Hosted by the OUSW R&E, T-REX is designed to accelerate the speed of tech adoption and aggressively fill capability gaps across the Joint Force. Thank you @innationalguard & Camp Atterbury for hosting us! #OUSWRE
Chaparral has been putting in the work at our flight test facility completing our latest autonomous flight campaign — and now it's time to take to new skies. New places, new airspaces. Stay tuned!

🚨The future of flight is here under @POTUS with eight new pilot projects as a part of our Advanced Air Mobility pilot program:
🛬 Safely test futuristic aircraft that will RADICALLY CHANGE the way people and products move
🚁 Partners will use these aircraft for all kinds of scenarios, including: urban air taxis, regional travel, cargo logistics, and emergency medicine
🇺🇸 This will create one of the WORLD’s largest testing environments for next-generation aircraft in states all across America
It all begins THIS SUMMER!
We are clearing the path for next-generation aircraft! This first-of-its-kind program is a step forward in safely accelerating advanced air mobility operations into the national airspace. Learn more at https://t.co/yTdbctTGBl
