Could This Become The Fastest Military,

helicopter so far?

named the Sikorsky’s S-97 Raider it has a feature that helps it along, the Raider turns the standard helicopter’s normal balancing tail rotor perpendicular, making it a much faster pusher propeller, rotors are great for maneuverability, and they allow for a much smaller landing surface than the runways required by fixed-wing planes, but helicopters often suffer from slow speed, the Raider features two rotors on top, spinning in opposite directions to counter each other’s torque, and the tail propeller provides forward momentum, with this set up, the X-2 set an unofficial helicopter speed record by flying 258 mph in 2010, the Raider is, by and large, the production version of the X-2, tweaked and armed for military customers, in addition to two pilots, the Raider can carry up to six troops with gear inside, letting it both scout out enemy positions and then add troops to the fight, the troop capacity of the Raider is about half that of the Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk, one of the Army’s main troop carriers, and a lot less than that of the shape-changing V-22 Osprey, but it falls nicely between them both in speed, as an aside at a maximum speed of 315km/h, (195 mph), the CH-47F Chinook is the world's fastest military helicopter, manufactured by Boeing Defense, Space & Security.
