Deadly, Fastest, most maneuverable and most survivable assault helicopter in history

Lockheed Martin and Boeing, have taken the wraps off the Defiant-X advanced military helicopter being developed for the US Army's Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft competition. Billed as the fastest, most maneuverable, and most survivable assault helicopter in history.

Combined with Sikorsky-Boeing’s unsurpassed experience in mission systems, training and sustainment, Defiant-X will revolutionize the way the U.S. Army meets threats in 2035 and beyond.

With unmatched range and survivability, Defiant X will change the way the Army fights – enabling crews to fly low and fast through complex terrain, land quickly, deliver Soldiers and equipment to the objective area and get out.

With its rigid coaxial rotor system and pusher propeller, Defiant X incorporates Sikorsky X2 Technology, to operate at high speeds while maintaining low-speed handling qualities.

This critical capability provides Soldiers with increased maneuverability and survivability, in high-threat air defense environments, allowing them to penetrate enemy defenses while reducing exposure to enemy fire. Compared to SB-1 Defiant, the Defiant X airframe has enhancements to improve aerodynamics and reduce the thermal signature requirements.
