Engineering:Joint Replacement Aircraft

From HandWiki

The Joint Replacement Aircraft (JRA) was a program initiated by the US Defense Department project to build a common utility aircraft that would replace the UH-1N Twin Huey and AH-1 SuperCobra in service with the United States Marine Corps.[1] In August 1995, the Secretary of the Navy authorized the Marine Corps to upgrade its utility and attack helicopters as a bridge until the Joint Replacement Aircraft was available in 2020.[2] The Marine Corps hoped to replace the UH-1N and AH-1W with the JRA by 2015,[1] and a number of designs for the JRA were explored, including a tiltrotor.[3]
