| Description |
c/n 0001 Built 2008 The Sikorsky X-2 was an experimental compound helicopter with coaxial rotors and a pusher propeller for high-speed forward flight. On 15th September 2010 it achieved 288mph in level flight and set an unofficial world speed record for rotorcraft, for which the team were awarded the Collier Trophy. While the Westland Lynx is still the world’s fastest conventional helicopter at 249mph, the X-2 layout is undoubtedly faster and is certainly the way ahead for future rotorcraft. When trials ended in 2017 Sikorsky donated the X-2 to the Smithsonian Institute and it is seen on display at the Steven F. Udvar Hazy Center as part of the National Air and Space Museum.
