Welcome to Army aviation, circa 2050.
U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Research, Development and Engineering Center at Redstone Arsenal has developed a new video showing ideas for the not-too-distant future. "Aviation 2050 Vision -- Technology for Tactics" is a joint effort of the command's engineers and graphic artists working in its Visualization Lab. The effort is being led by Dr. Bill Lewis '75, Director of AMRDEC's Aviation Development Directorate.
