Thursday was a monumental night for the extreme sports world, as the first-ever X Games draft took place in Los Angeles.

Bell just completed the Critical Design Review for DARPA's SPRINT program, meaning it can build its next-gen X-76 VTOL aircraft.

DARPA’s X-76 experimental aircraft aims to combine helicopter flexibility with jet-like speeds and runway-independent flight.

The X-76 is the latest in a long series of experimental X-planes developed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).
