Racer was launched under the European Clean Sky 2 programme which encourages the development of lower-emission air transport. Under the initiative Racer had to demonstrate a 20% reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions compared with conventional aircraft of the same class. Racer reached all these targets on the first few test flights in April. Racer's wing takes the load off the rotor, reducing dynamic loads and vibration

The SB>1 Defiant is the largest platform produced by Sikorsky to employ its X2 technology.
One of the SB>1 Defiant's stated advantages was its footprint, similar to that of the Black Hawk it intended to replace. It was claimed that the Defiant was able to get into tighter landing zones that its competitor

Bell's 360 Invictus prototype was a conventional helicopter configuration with a two-seat tandem cockpit, with sighting optics and a laser designator above a 20mm cannon gun turret in the chin position below the cockpit
The robust, articulated rotor, lift-sharing wing and optimised tail rotor will allow the Bell 360 to deliver advanced speeds, range and agility over the battlefield

The Bell 360 Invictus is a proposed helicopter design intended to meet the US Army's FARA requirement. The aircraft leverages a common open architecture digital backbone comparable to the Bell V-280 Valor
The 360 Invictus's stub wings provided lift equivalent to approximately 50% of the aircraft's weight at moderate high speed
