Top 10 Helicopters as Fast as Jet Aircraft (Comparing Speed Records)

[@marcusrussell8660]

As a former Army Officer, I think the Army needs two or three variations of the tilt rotor hybrid. We need one variation that is totally assault and another utility one and last a medevac fast mover. But the airbus aircraft for 8.6 million is a great deal.

[@automotiveterritory]

Although a release of a new helicopter model is a rather rare event, it's fun to see how newer models compare to the older ones. Here are some of the fastest helicopters that currently exist. Which one do you like the most?

I'm still a big fan of the Aerospatiale SA-341G. Current models I also like are the MD520N as well as the Airbus H120, H130 and H135.

Your channel deserves more subscribers as it is so versatile giving the very fine and minute necessary details, in today's video you didn't mentioned the maximum ceiling/altitude height the particular helicopter can achieve.

[@automotiveterritory]

Welcome back!

[@automotiveterritory]

Thanks for your support. Good point about the the altitude. Augusta is among the few rotorcraft that can reach plane like heights due to the pressurised cabin. The others fly at the regular helicopter altitudes

[@ag135i]

@@automotiveterritory thanks for the positive response and feedback.

[@farmerbold1144]

The Bell V-280 is the clear choice for the U.S. military ... I hope. I would love to see more powerful engines to increase the altitude and esp. the speed to 400-plus MPH esp. if that could be the cruising speed with a maximum of well over that and which is possible without jet engine thrust. Wider wings by just as few inches would increase range too with little extra drag, no doubt. (Not a helicopter but for the same purpose or replacement of vertical lift/landing craft.)

[@automotiveterritory]

I would say that The tiltrotor design is still in its infancy, so we might see some mind blowing aircraft soon!

[@VictorLepanto]

It seems to me that the helicopter format has exhausted its potential. A helicopter will always be limited in regards to speed & altitude. Many executives make use of both helicopters & business jets or at least business planes to travel as they need. Obviously combining those two functions in one craft has enormous potential. What I am wondering is why hasn't a larger version of this kind of craft been developed? Something of small or medium air liner size w/ maybe 4 tiltrotors would seem to have a big pay off, it seems so to me.

[@rpf276]

The coaxial drive contra-rotating rotors still make the Sikorsky models a true helicopter unlike the tilt wings. Speed isn't everything instant low speed maneuverability front back side to side, no need to tilt the fuselage to move like a traditional helicopter with slower response, hovering and remaining stationary while the nose is pointed down, the Sikorsky is the one for me.

[@frisk151]

I've known for decades about the trailing rotor stall characteristics.. However, I never considered contra-rotating mains and how they may expand beyond what normal rotors / tail are able to achieve in high speed cruise flight..

[@pamandatank8853]

[@automotiveterritory]

Thanks, which of these is your favorite?

[@killingfields1424]

Tiltrotors have the same tricky behavior with the AV-8B. Wings cannot create lift at low speed so tilting the rotors must be executed before slowing down prior to approach angle

Would love for military to receive a Cobra Viper based strike airplane. Two side x side main rotors for lift and maneuvering powered by current Viper power plants. Two modified Viper engines or two redesigned Little Bird engines putting out record setting forward thrust. (Also, 2 side mounted forward facing M102’s out of the AC130, GAU-8 nose mounted cannon, up to 16 SDBs or 16 Hellfire or 4 2.75 rocket pods, or pair of quad MK-19 machine gun) Or a MH-65 upgraded to four total engines and two smaller radius side by side mounted main rotors for lift and maneuvering; the rear rotor would stay just cuz it looks 😎. 5 person aircraft crew, 18 floor loaded strike infantry or passenger area converted to SDB, DAP munitions bay akin to fixed wing bombers

Do the coaxial rotors, counter rotating rotors, on X2 style craft auto rotate when there is a loss of power as they do on most conventional helicopters?

[@automotiveterritory]

Hello, Joe. Yes they do. In fact, the rigid coaxial rotor improves autorotative capability by virtue of its heavier, higher inertia rotor system.

[@walterh.porembski6161]

The 280

[@maharishi9111]

I both like and dislike helicopters. I like them for their capability to take of vertically and hover in a given coordinate. I dislike them for their high asymmetricism. Last but not least.... I love helicopters from the movie "Avatar" for their symmetrical design. ☺️

Everything you're seeing here was conceived of, designed and probably built in the 1950s and 1960s (or before). The only difference between then and now is that technology has progressed by leaps and bounds.

[@abrahkadabra9501]

@@automotiveterritory I don't know where you get "brave" concepts from. That's a pretty odd comment. These corporations are here to make money....period, bravery has nothing to with it.

[@automotiveterritory]

Brave it terms technology and vision. When writing brave concepts I didn't mean any of the models shown here. If I were to show an actual example, Nexus by Bell Helicopters would be the first thing that comes to mind. And it's going to take years to make it work.

[@abrahkadabra9501]

@@automotiveterritory Nexus from Bell Helicopters is an old design that's been rebuilt to compete with the Osprey as a cheaper competitor. Bell was one of the earlier adopters of the tilt rotor aircraft and have a lot of background to it. Bell wants to make money just like every other corporation and wants investor interest in their new Nexus project. That's why they're displaying it. I can't believe you're this naive.

Yeah the pilots who fly those would love to think they're helicopter pilots, but they're not. Just because it can do VTOL doesn't make it a helicopter ffs!
