Here's my first stet of projects, the Bell V-280 Valor family and the Boeing MXH-47S Night Prowler.

Fantastic job on the V-280 Valor - that seems like one of the best ones created so far. However, on the Bell V-280 Valor family, I think you could explain the name and role of some of them - you can specify the role of the V-280M, LCV-280A, VU-280Y and so on.

Thanks very much for the comment.
The different variants are all based off of already working aircraft, this list should make since.

V-280A Valor= Is your basic model
V-280F Valor= Is an upgraded V-280A model
V-280M Valor= Is a V-280A model but it's configured to be an medavac VTOL
VHL-280A Heavy Lifter= Is a V-280A modified to be a VTOL crane
VU-280B Valor= Is a modified VU-280A. It serves as a utility VTOL, I should have called it D instead because it's to be more like a UH-1D
VU-280Y Fang Valor= Is a upgraded V-280N and is does what the UH-1Y Venom does today (hint the name), it's a Marine utility VTOL
VU-280A Valor= Is a modified V-280A, it serves as a utility VTOL.
VU-280N Fang Valor= Is a modified SV-280 that's purpose is to serve the Marines as a utility VTOL, it's name comes from the UH-1N
VV-280W White Valor= Is a heavily modified VU-280Y and main job is to be a Marine One for the no other than the President
SV-280 Sea Valor= Is a modified V-280F Valor and main purpose is to be a sub hunter for the US Navy.
OV-280D= Observation Valor= Is a modified VU-280B to be a reliable observation/attack/electronic/utility platform. It's also equipped with low observable(stealth) capabilities making it a great platform for Special Forces. It's name comes from the OH-58D Kiowa
MXV-280S Silent Knight= Is a highly modified V-280F made to be a silent and low observable(stealth) VTOL for Special Forces
MV-280G Special Operations= Is another heavily modified V-280F. It does any mission that special forces needed it to do. It's flown by the famous US Army 160th Soar (Knight Stalkers). It get it's name from the MH-47G Chinook and MH-60G Pavehawk
LCV-280A Valor= Is a modified V-280F made for harsh Arctic/Antarctic warfare. It has ski's equipped so it can land basically anywhere in the Arctic/Antarctic landscape. It's name comes from a variant of the C-130. It's called the LC-130, which is a specially equipped C-130 for Arctic/Antarctic warfare.
KV-280 Valor Tanker= Is a modified V-280F to be a VTOL with aerial refueling capability, all aircraft that job is this in the US Military receives a "K" designation in it's name for example the KC-135 Stratotanker.
HV-280J Rescue Valor= Is a modified V-280M that serves the US Coast Guard as a rescue VTOL. It's name comes from the HH-60J Jayhawk which is already serving the Coast Guard
EV-280D Electronic Valor= Is a heavily modified OV-280D to perform heavy amounts of electronic warfare capabilities.
CV-280C Valor= Is a modified V-280A to do simple cargo duties
BV-280A Bombardier Valor= Is a modified V-280F to be a close air support medium bomber that is a VTOL aircraft
AV-280A Attack Valor= Is another V-280F variant, it's job is to proved close air support to ground forces
Lastly the Boeing MXH-47S Night Prowler is a highly modified CH-47F made to be a silent and low observable(stealth) helicopter for Special Forces
I hope this clears everything up for everyone.

Another question - what are the armaments of the AV-280A Attack Valor? I saw the rocket pods, but I don't seem to get much further.

Guys, there is a discussion thread for this sort of thing. Use it maybe?

[TaskForce51]

I just based it really off my imagination as all of these variants except the V-280A, that's actually real

Here's some other planes that I made. I have to thank the people who made the B-47 and A-3 because that's what I used to make the XB-55 (proposed propeller driven B-47) and the B-66 (US Air Force variant of the A-3).

North American B-45 Tornado


Douglas B-66 Destroyer


Boeing XB-55 "Last American Propeller Driven Bomber"


Northropy B-49 "Flying Wing"
