Sikorsky to Build Two Prototypes Based on X2 Technology

摘要

Sikorsky Aircraft has uncovered plans to build two prototype light tactical helicopters (LTHs) based on the X2 Technology demonstrator that unofficially claimed the helicopter world speed record in September, reaching 250 knots (288 mph) at the company's Development Flight Center in West Palm Beach, Fla. President Jeffrey Pino said that having proven the X2 design as a company, "we have full confidence we can now mature the technology for the U.S. Army's light armed reconnaissance helicopter size."
