Mysterious New Aircraft Doesn't Need a Runway - HK data media

In an effort to assist special operations forces, the #U.S. government is working on developing a new type of high-speed aircraft that can take off and land without a runway. The #defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) announced on Wednesday that it's partnering with the Special Operations Command to create the Speed and Runway Independent Technologies (SPRINT) program to meet the growing need for aircraft that can land on unprepared surfaces.

The new aircraft, which is still shrouded in secrecy, could be used for a variety of purposes, including combat medical evacuations and aiding soldiers in reaching remote locations. According to DARPA Director Stefanie Tompkins, the emphasis is on speed and the proposed aircraft lacks helicopter rotors.

If the project is successful, the new aircraft could join the Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey as a solution for troops trying to get into rugged terrain quickly. The Osprey is a tiltrotor military aircraft with both vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) and short takeoff and landing (STOL) capabilities that has become a popular choice for many U.S. special operators and regular forces. However, the Osprey has had a troubled service record, with 13 hull loss accidents and 51 fatalities.
