SB>1 DEFIANT™ can add power to propeller and main rotor to speed up without changing attitude; traditional helicopters must tilt their main rotor and fuselage to accelerate.
Maintaining level body increases situational awareness, while rapid acceleration in constrained spaces, minimizes exposure time to threats.
SB>1 DEFIANT™’s fly-by-wire control rigid main rotor and available hover power enables high agility at low speed.
Enables safe operations in complex, obstacle rich environments close to the ground.

Why It's Special
SB>1 DEFIANT™’s rigid main rotor allows it to execute turns in half the distance of traditional helicopters.
Enables rapid orientation on the threat, increasing lethality and survivability.
SB>1 DEFIANT™ can reverse pitch on propeller to slow down; helicopters must flare in order to slow down thus losing sight of the target.
Maintains pilots’ eyes and weapons on target all the way to the objective.
