HERNDON, VA and NASHVILLE, TN--(Marketwire - April 2, 2012) - EADS North America unveiled its Armed Aerial Scout 72X+ (AAS-72X+) on April 2, 2012 at the annual Army Aviation Association of America convention during a press conference at its exhibit. David Haines, EADS North America's vice president of Rotorcraft programs is pictured unveiling the aircraft.

The AAS-72X+ will offer the Army greater power, range, endurance and payload capacity when operating in 6,000 foot altitude and 95 degree environments, commonly known as '6K/95 high/hot' conditions. The AAS-72X+'s performance will exceed the Army's previously published 6K/95 endurance requirement of 2 hours and 12 minutes plus a 20 minute fuel reserve, while carrying a 2,800 pound useful payload for mission equipment and crew. 

EADS North America has delivered more than 210 UH-72A Lakotas to the Army and five the U.S. Navy, all on schedule and on budget.
