Helicopter Aircraft. Sikorsky has incorporated decades of company research and development into X2 Technology helicopters. The S-69/XH-59A Advancing Blade Concept Demonstrator showed high speed was possible with a coaxial helicopter and auxiliary propulsion; the Cypher UAV expanded company knowledge of the unique aspects of flight control laws in a fly by wire aircraft with coaxial rotors; and the RAH-66 Comanche, which developed expertise in composite rotors and advanced transmission design. On 4 May 2009, Sikorsky unveiled a mock-up of a Light Tactical Helicopter derivative of the X2. Sikorsky Aircraft has been awarded aviation’s most prestigious prize for the development of its X2 helicopter, which achieved 250 knots (288 mph) in level flight. That makes it the fastest helicopter ever without external thrust. Sikorsky X2 (wallpaper 2). Sikorsky X2 Helicopter images wallpaper gallery 2. Sikorsky X2 airplane pictures and images collection 2. The Collier trophy is awarded each year for the greatest achievement in aeronautics or astronautics in the United States. This year marks the 100th time the award has been given, and Sikorsky joins an illustrious list. Past winners include Orville Wright, Chuck Yeager, the crew of Apollo 11 and the SpaceShipOne team. The Sikorsky X2 is a technology demonstrator exploring the limits of helicopter flight. By using counter rotating main rotors, some of the drawbacks of high speed helicopter flight can be minimized. The problem of retreating blade stall also is minimized by slowing down the main rotor speed and using the pusher propeller at the back of the helicopter for thrust as speeds increase. Last year saw a push for fast helicopters as Eurocopter also flew its speedy technology demonstrator, the X3. The Sikorsky X2’s record-setting flight was an unofficial speed run. Only a few examples have flown faster when boosted with external jet thrust. Sikorsky’s X2 will be the starting point for a new light attack helicopter being developed for the Army’s Armed Aerial Scout program. Known as the X2 Raider, the new military helicopter will retain the same basic layout. In addition to being fast, the new helicopter is expected to be quieter and have the ability to carry a larger payload than existing helicopters of similar size. Sikorsky X2 (wallpaper 2).
