Ready, set, soar – at 400 km per hour! 🚁 Airbus Helicopters' high-speed Racer demonstrator kicked off its flight testing campaign today with its maiden flight. Racer builds upon the success of the X3 demonstrator – which combined a traditional main rotor with innovative lateral rotors – by adding innovative new technologies that increase aerodynamics and fuel efficiency. The optimised double-wing design of the Racer seeks to achieve the perfect balance between speed, cost-efficiency and mission performance. Fuel consumption is reduced by 20% thanks to aerodynamic optimisation and an innovative eco-mode propulsion system, the latter of which also contributes to reducing the helicopter's operational acoustic footprint. 🔊 Developed as part of the European Clean Sky 2 project, Racer is the result of cooperation between 40 partners coming from 13 different European countries. I've said it before and I'll say it again: together we are stronger 🇪🇺 (and faster!)  #AirbusHelicopters #Airbus #Racer #Innovation

#Aviation #FunFactMonday #WeekStart #LetsDoThis #FullSpeedAhead 🚁 Happy #FunFactMonday, aviation fans! Here’s a new one to start your week with wings. Did you know that the fastest #Helicopter in the world is the #EurocopterX3? This incredible #Rotorcraft can reach speeds of up to 293 mph (472 km/h), combining #Traditional rotor blades with #FixedWings and #Propellers for unmatched speed. The #X3 was developed by Airbus Helicopters, formerly known as #Eurocopter, to push the boundaries of helicopter #Performance. This unique combination allows the #X3 to achieve extraordinary speeds while maintaining the versatility of a helicopter. It’s a true #Engineering marvel that shows how aviation is always reaching for faster, more #Efficient designs that have certainly influenced the design of new, high-speed rotorcraft. Here’s to #Starting the #Week with speed and innovation! #AviationFunFact #EurocopterX3 #Rotorcraft #MondayMotivation #SkyHighInnovation Copyright: Image extracted from https://lnkd.in/eDDuEERZ

🚁 Exciting Technical Milestone from Airbus Helicopters! 🚁 The Airbus RACER, a groundbreaking high-speed helicopter, has exceeded its target speed, achieving an impressive 420 km/h (227 kts) just two months after its maiden flight. This success is attributed to its unique box-wing design, pusher propellers, and advanced aerodynamics, which together reduce drag and enhance efficiency. Optimised for a cruise over 400 km/h (216 kts), 50% faster than a conventional helicopter, it will consume 15% less fuel per distance at 180 kts (333 km/h) than a helicopter at 130 kts (241 km/h), and aim for a 25% cost reduction per distance. Developed with over 40 partners across 13 countries, the RACER promises a blend of speed, cost-efficiency, and sustainability. Stay tuned for more updates as it continues testing! #Airbus #Innovation #Aviation #Technology #Sustainability #FIA2024 [Read more here](https://lnkd.in/ghKYCSG6)

New indexes coming this Friday! And if you cannot wait, take a look at Aviation Week Network's Ben Goldstein's excellent article on the new AAM Reality Index release on this week's AAM Report - https://lnkd.in/g9bkdB9V. #uam #urbanairmobility #aam #advancedairmobility #airtaxi #evtol #estol #ectol #cargo #electricaircraft #aerospace #infrastructure #vertiports #aamrealityindex #airindex

The main purpose of airplane wingtip is to reduce the aerodynamic drag produced by the wing thus improving fuel efficiency. The following wingtip is from an Airbus A330neo. #a330 #cebupacific #airbus

The Airbus A320 first took to the skies on February 22, 1987. We tracked a total of 1,038,052 Airbus A320 flights on #Flightradar24 in 2023 (including both CEO and NEO models). Here's a snapshot of all airborne A320s right now, showing the truly global footprint of this game-changing narrowbody. #airbus #a320 #a320neo #aviationdata #aviationindustry

☁ 🚁 In case you missed the #RACER in the skies last week ‼ We're thrilled to share some groundbreaking developments from the RACER (Rapid and Cost-Effective Rotorcraft) helicopter demonstrator that just last week performed its first flight in Marignane (🇫🇷). The aircraft flew for about 30 minutes, allowing the #flight test team to evaluate the overall behaviour of the aircraft. 👉 ✔ Airbus Helicopters marks the beginning of a two-year flight campaign. With its innovative design and eco-mode propulsion system, the #RACER aims to achieve a 20% reduction in fuel consumption and demonstrate its capabilities in high-speed flight. 🎤 “With its 90 patents, Racer is the perfect example of the level of innovation that can be achieved when #European partners come together. This first flight is a proud moment for Airbus Helicopters and for our 40 partners in 13 countries,” said Bruno Even, CEO of Airbus Helicopters. “I look forward to watching this demonstrator pioneer high-speed capabilities and develop the eco-mode system that will contribute to reducing fuel consumption,” he added. 🌍 The RACER is born ready to deliver environmental benefits! ➡ It is not only expected to operate at higher speeds but also to lower fuel consumption and #emissions. Additionally, the rotor hub fairing promises lower noise and reduced mechanical stress on the helicopter's tail, enhancing overall environmental #sustainability.
