Lockheed Martin company Sikorsky is advancing with the development of the Raider X competitive prototype (CP) for the US Army’s Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft (FARA) program. The prototype is now more than 85% complete and is currently weight on wheels at the Sikorsky Development Flight Center, in Florida. The company has also started powering on the helicopter. Unlike a single-main rotor configuration, the Raider X design is based on Sikorsky X2 technology. According to Lockheed Martin, the compound coaxial technology of the X2 will improve the aircraft’s performance, supporting an increase in speed, combat radius, and payload to meet different mission requirements. Sikorsky president Paul Lemmo said: “Our transformational Raider X will deliver broad benefits to the Army, including the lowest schedule risk and greatest technical maturity of the FARA competitors”. Sikorsky, introduces Raider X, as its concept for a fast, agile, survivable compound coaxial helicopter that will equip future aviators to address evolving peer and near-peer threats in the most difficult environments. So, what this upcoming combat giant is cooking up all along? What different and unique performance features and functionality will it provide as compared to competitors?
