WATCH THIS SUPERFAST RAIDER HELICOPTER TAKE ITS FIRST FLIGHT
Early this morning in West Palm Beach, Florida, a brand-new helicopter took its first flight. Made by Sikorsky, the S-97 Raider is designed as a future attack and fast transport copter for the American military, with a top speed of up to 276 mph thanks to a pusher-propeller in the rear and rigid rotors. If all goes well, it will achieve that speed in tests later this year. Today, however, the Raider’s speed topped out at 10 knots--or about 12 mph.
