Hey, that's the TVC concept we did simulations of back in the late 80s! Pretty cool, that!
I bet a tilt-rotor could go faster, but that's not quite a helicopter I guess.

...nope, the gyrocopter has non-powered rotor blades, those on the X2 are powered. |

" Bringing her up to mach 1 String "
Anyone remember that from Airwolf ?
Also, they somehow managed to get that thing to loop upside-down.
I've wondered in the past what the aerodynamic flow looks like around a helicopter.
When in level flight, I'm assuming that the blades create a corkscrew pattern behind the helicopter.

Semi off topic, but has anyone ever seen the Red Bull aerobatic helicopter?

Yes! it was rather impressive to see fly, it was almost like it was on a set of strings being tugged around, flying in any direction on a whim, sideways, upside down! it made my day. |
