DARPA's SPRINT program has advanced its X-76 experimental aircraft into the build phase after a successful Critical Design Review, with Bell Textron tasked to construct a runway-independent, vertical-lift demonstrator capable of cruise speeds exceeding 400 knots. The X-76 aims to bridge the historical gap between high-speed fixed-wing aircraft and vertical takeoff/landing platforms for military operations.
