SOH-CM-2014
Just found this over at flightsim, "FS2004 Sikorsky X2 Technology Demonstrator.
Experimental aircraft combining several technologies to produce a vehicle with low speed helicopter characteristics but capable of cruising at 250 knots. Aircraft recently broke the helicopter speed record. Complete package except sound. Aircraft will reach 250 knots in FS2004 yet flies like a well behaved helicopter at lower speeds. By David Allan."
Basically a modern civilian version of the previous AH-56 type pusher helicopter. I was wondering how this type of aircraft would adapt to FS9. Here it flies as a helicopter would, pitching down to attain and maintain speed, so a true rendition of a level cruising attitude using the pusher prop for thrust and the rotors to act only as wings is not really achieved. Still it is fun to fly, though it needs a bit of performance tweaking and the sound is aliased to the Robinson R-22.
Here is a real one
