101st Airborne

In its recent Operation Lethal Eagle, the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) simulated MV-75 Cheyenne, flying twice the capable range of today's fleet in one period of darkness, carrying the same payload and requiring zero refueling stops.

Deputy Brigade Commander, 101st Combat Aviation Brigade explains how MV-75 Cheyenne represents the next era in Army’s legacy of modernization, and how tiltrotor capability will keep Soldiers safer in the next fight.

Hear how a modular open systems approach and advanced digital backbone allow units to load new software faster, upgrade without redesigning the aircraft and keep those upgrades under Army control.

Before a mission, ground commanders and MEDEVAC address three questions: how many patients can you carry, how fast and how far. A 101st Black Hawk pilot explains how MV-75 Cheyenne improves all three, so crews can carry more casualties farther back to higher levels of care when every minute counts.
