New renders accompanied the announcement from Bell regarding the completion of testing for the X-plane prototype in the wind tunnel. The tests demonstrated the stability and maneuverability of the aircraft after folding and unfolding the rotors during flight.
The SPRINT X-plane program is focused on the development and creation of high-speed, runway-independent vehicles (HSVTOL).
