Регистрационный номер: F-ZXXX Built in absolute secrecy by Airbus Helicopters, the X3 was a technology demonstrator within the the company for three years from September 2010. It reached a cruise speed of 220kts (410km/h), 50% faster than a conventional helicopter. It paved the way for the development of the RACER, which has a new cruise speed goal of 240kts (444km/h)

Регистрационный номер: F-WRAC [4] "The aim of the RACER is not to go as fast as possible, but to offer enhanced operational capabilities at the right price for missions where speed can really be an asset," says Julien Guitton

Регистрационный номер: F-WRAC [4] The propellers are two lateral "pusher" types. In addition to providing thrust for high-speed cruise, they counteract the main rotor's torque effect, so replacing the role of a conventional tail rotor

The only way to make a conventional helicopter fly faster and negate the speed restrictions placed upon it by the rotor blades is to add either a wing or a second rotor and propellers to increase the aircraft's speed

The RACER's two propellers are mounted on box wings joined at the tips by the propellers' bullet-shaped casing. The wings attain good cruise efficiency and have a small surface area above to minimise their interaction with the main rotor wake when the RACER is in the hover
