Worlds Fastest Helicopter Sikorsky X2

[fordsons]

Sikorsky X2 is fastest compound helicopter but .. G-Lynx is still the fastest Helicopter!

[1AmtrakFan]

Hmm can I have This EPIC helicopter

[TheBeetrootman]

tbh it looks fucking badass!!

[TheJohn7528]

love how the Americans had to get NASA to build that crazy looking no doubt unbelievably expensive beast just to beat a small utility helicopter made for the British Army by a small company in Suffolk :') nice heli though

[iWearGlassesLOL]

@TheJohn7528

Did NASA fund this project?

[TheJohn7528]

@iWearGlassesLOL Nope, it was quite literally built in a warehouse in Sussex by a small company semi funded by the British Army. Even after all these years it was their sheer genius and determination that means the Lynx still hold the title, and before you say no this random NASA beast does, actually it doesn't, as it technically isn't a helicopter, it's a Gyrodyne, a fixed wing with rotors aircraft, so 1 up for the British :P

Now thats for flyin people with heart attack! 

[airwolf100]

sure its not faster than AIRWOLF!

[thecakeistruth]

@airwolf100 noits weak compaerd to the mach 9 heli

[roostaraver]

and that will be used for what? it doesnt look very usefull for army etc

[ThatsrightiplayWoW]

@roostaraver Its not its for speed

[koonachota]

@roostaraver

Are you serious? It looks extremely useful for recon.

[roostaraver]

@koonachota

not really i would be good for recon if i was unmaned

[tjnd69]

they should use the B.E.R.B tech on the blades... might go faster

[MrRelkeb]

Wow, the rotors are spinning at just the righty speed so that the frames make it look slomo.

[reluctable]

But... but Airwolf had an afterburner... :(

[monsimand]

370km/h

[suzuyamahahonda]

provo

[SPARTANwiz117]

now put three rotors on it :P

[jengkollovers]

cool...it look like kamov but lighter........

[7791ramrod]

nice 262 knots that's really fast for a chopper

[Graham527r]

Amazing

[rionrace]

That's an autogyro idiots.. Go search on wikipedia for autogyro.

[elvulch]

@rionrace

I can tell that you're not a pilot!!!

[snuffygg]

@rionrace no it's not. AG's use an unpowered rotor in automation. First sentence, I have a feeling they have power to the rotor on this chopper.

[MrBenderbish]

it's pretty cool, with the counter-rotating blades they are able to cancel out the torque caused by a single blade, therefore they don't need a tail rotor to cancel it out. so they can put a prop on the back facing backwards and get way more speed. also they don't have the problems with dissimetry of lift on the advancing blade!

[pasqualio1]

this is one bad ass copter i have seen it live fucker is bad as hell

[TheScientist0000000]

Worlds longest, most drawn out video of the worlds fastest helicopter. Get to the goddamn point.

[CrowsTurnOff]

Those rotors are spinning so slowly half the time, clearly fake.

[purecombat97]

@CrowsTurnOff ever thought that the camera's frame rate is slower then the speed of the rotors?

[trjnz]

needs more blades imo



[MrMun1a]

A nice copy of Russian Ka-52.

[hillberg100]

Lockheed XH-51 still faster Too bad

[Cyklizzle]

It looks stupid,

[barkon]

So, it's a variation on the Cheyenne. Interesting how some things a come back around. Almost like that Simpsons episode with the multi-winged airliner ;)

[unclesamshat]

my uncle worked on that

[lynley04]

Very impressive! We've come a long way in aeronautics.

[Searching4Truth1]

Not bad, not bad atall... right at 300 mph

[dravidr007]

quality

[voxmagna2]

gopro camera. would love to get a radio controlled version of this. looks interesting :)
