Safran to provide flight testing solutions for U.S. Army’s FLRAA programme

Safran DSI will provide an end-to-end testing solution, incorporating advanced technology to ensure precise data acquisition, recording, and analysis. The company’s expertise will support the rigorous evaluation of FLRAA’s performance, reliability, and operational effectiveness.

“FLRAA is a key development in the U.S. Army’s modernization efforts, and we are excited to contribute to this mission with our advanced flight-testing solutions,” said Andrei Gugiu, EVP Aerospace Instrumentation & Mission Systems for Testing & Telemetry. “This contract underscores the dedication and expertise of our team in delivering reliable, mission-critical technologies for the U.S. government.”

FLRAA is being developed by Bell as a next-generation tiltrotor aircraft, combining the vertical takeoff and landing capabilities of a helicopter with the speed and range of a twin-turboprop. The aircraft is expected to play a central role in the U.S. Army’s future air mobility strategy, enhancing operational reach and agility.
