Guest Pilots Given The Opportunity To Fly The Hybrid Helo At Huntsville, AL
Eurocopter continues its U.S. tour of the X3 high-speed hybrid helicopter Monday in Huntsville, AL, where the aircraft performed the first of several flight demonstrations for military leaders and aviators in several locations across the country. The X3 demonstrated its unique flight characteristics, which include a cruise speed of 200 knots, high rates of climb and executing high-speed maneuvers that are not routine for conventional rotary-wing aircraft.
