Top 10 Future Military Helicopters
Discounting scars and sporadic employment for strategic missions military helicopter is a tactical platform its roles have evolved impressively over the years future helicopters of the next generation helicopters can do much more than today's versions including supporting systems that can conduct independent maneuver achieving greater speed and range and to operate in a highly contested operational environment today the buzz would like to present the 10 main military helicopters of the future so stay tuned.
mil mi x1
So firstly we have the mill mi x1 the male mix one is a high-speed helicopter being proposed by mill of russia it is intended to create a new generation of middle-class helicopters cruising at about 500 kilometers per hour the design is competing for a us dollar's 1.3 billion project by the russian government and kamov is the other competitor the mix-1 may be powered by two upgraded klim of vk 2500 turbo chefs or two future klimov vk-3000 currently under development similar engines are installed on mill mi 28 and cam of ka-50 attack helicopters its preliminary design and early specifications were unveiled at heli russia 2009 exhibition near moscow.

| leonardo aw 249 |
Up next we have leonardo helicopters aw-249 this is an attack helicopter project under development by the italian firm leonardo spa the aw 249 will feature all the newest technology developments in its market segment and can enjoy the planning leadership of leonardo the aw249 will have speed and endurance tosustain the most difficult attack close air support and armed escort operations it will be equipped with general electric t700 or saffron a nato engine and will be able to operate in all environmental conditions leonardo has indicated that this new design will be more stealthy by lowering its radar cross-section and infrared signature.

| Tai t625 Gokbey |
Up next we have the tai t625 gokbey which is a twin engine light transport utility helicopter developed by turkish aerospace industries the turkish aerospace industries launched preliminary design studies in 2010. The project started in 2013 when the undersecretary for the defense industry signed a contract with the Turkish aerospace industry to develop a six-ton multifunction helicopter for ground operations. is designed for ifr and vfr single pilot operations night operations and flight in known icing conditions.

| AVX helicopter |
Up next we have the avx helicopter the avx aircraft proposed an aircraft with their coaxial rotor and twin ducted fan design that provides better steering and some additional forward power this design is for the army future long range attack aircraft it is capable of flying at 430 kilometers per hour tess aircraft will be equipped with current ge t706 engines but avx is looking to equip their design with the advanced affordable turbine engines with its higher 4800 horsepower output all armaments will be stored inside until needed to provide a clean aerodynamic design.

| x-49a speedhawk |
Up next we have the pyasetsky x-49a speedhawk this is often an idea aircraft supported applying x-49a compounding concepts to a production uh-60 blackhawk offering better performance range and increases in useful load the concept of the experimental program was to use the vector thrust ducted propeller technology to a production military helicopter to work out any benefit gained through increases in performance or useful load the speedhawk aircraft uses an spu high forward swept wing concept and performance oriented improvements.

| kamov ka 90 |
 |
| kamov ka92 |
Next we have the cam of ka92 which is a high-speed coaxial helicopter design proposed by kamov of russia for a 1.3 billion dollar project by the russian government for development of a high-speed helicopter it is intended to create a new generation of medium-class helicopters capable of cruising at about 500 kilometers per hour and flying over a distance of up to 1 400 kilometers the designers plan to install a powerful engine of 3 200 horsepower vk 3000 turboshafts it is also planned as a 30-seat passenger helicopter with a takeoff weight of 16 tons.
Sb1 defiant
Up next we have the sikorsky boeing sb1 defiant which is the sikorsky aircraft and boeing entry for the united states army's future vertical lift program succeeding the joint multi-role initiative it is compound helicopter with rigid coaxial rotors which made its first flight on 21st march 2019. sikorsky boeing states the sb1 will be quick and nimble with fast acceleration and deceleration fast side side movement and the capability to hover with the tail up and nose down the defined demonstrator will be powered by the honeywell t55 which powers the ch-47 shinnok.
Bell 360 invictus
Up next we have the bell 360 invictus this is a proposed helicopter design intended to satisfy the us army requirement for a future attack reconnaissance aircraft it's supported technology from the belt 5-5 relentless and its main engine will be a single general electric t901 turbo shaft engine with supplemental power from a pret and whitney pw207d1 turboshaft the us army requirement calls for a cruising speed in excess of 180 knots or 330 kilometers per hour combat radius will be 135 nautical miles or 250 kilometers with at least 90 minutes time on station.
sikorsky s97 raider
And lastly we have the s97 raider which is a high-speed scout and attack compound helicopter which is under development by sikorsky aircraft the s97 design includes variable speed rigid coaxial main rotors and a variable pitch pusher propeller making the s97 a compound helicopter it's flyby wire control and dynamic anti-vibration actuators to wipe out shaking supported the technology from the sikorsky x2 demonstrator the prototype s97s will be powered by a general electric yt-706 turboshaft a more powerful engine developed under the improved turbine engine program is expected to become available.
