• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

New Eurocopter

Update.......?? X-2 Raider

This may not be new......

But just some shots of the X-2 or in olive drab.......now the X or S-97 Raider Program

something to browse if you haven't seen it....

looks like they are bringing the pusher attack helicopter again.....

But, with budget cuts.......???

Lifts 10,000lbs.........I like that
 
X-3 Eurocopter.....press release shots

Magazine Stand had both

X-3 and X-2.....in a side by side comparision

Here are some X-3 shots

In the France video.....pilot almost rolled the X-3. They need to beef up landing gear if landing like an aircraft. Its top heavy for that small of wheels.
 
Actually, an autogyro has an unpowered main rotor, so these are compound helicopters. AKA gyrodynes.

Helicopters with props ..............

are different then auto-gyro's ...this is true

Auto Gyro's......The blades were set in motion by the forward motion of the aircraft and the draft from the props...which produced lift
