DEFIANT X - The Fastest and Most Maneuverable
Assault Helicopter in History
(27 Jan 2021)
Sikorsky and Boeing have unveiled details of what they
promise will be the fastest, most maneuverable and most survivable
assault helicopter in history.
Named DEFIANT X, the helicopter has been designed for the U.S. Army’s Future Long Range Assault
Aircraft competition (FLRAA).
DEFIANT
X is a complete weapon system that builds on the handling
qualities and transformational capabilities proven by the team’s
technology demonstrator, SB>1 DEFIANT.
On paper, the DEFIANT X flies twice as far and fast as the
venerable Black Hawk helicopter it is designed to replace.
