The Bell 360 Invictus was a proposed attack and reconnaissance helicopter that Bell designed to meet the United States Army requirement for a Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft, based on technology from the Bell 525 Relentless. It was a two-seat tandem design with a single engine, a four-blade rotor, mid-mounted stub wings intended to carry about half the aircraft's weight at speed, a shrouded tail rotor and a 20 mm chin cannon, with missiles on integrated launchers. Bell unveiled the design on 1 October 2019 and showed a full-scale mockup at the Association of the United States Army show that month, developing it with Collins Aerospace while Sierra Nevada Corporation worked on the mission systems. The Army ended the FARA program on 8 February 2024.
