Not too long ago, countries in NATO launched a new project (NGRC) to develop the helicopter of the future. Included are impressive, borderline ludicrous requirements, in order to really push for that "next big milestone". In this video I will provide insights on NGRC and also show you a really impressive flight demonstration of one of the three main contenders - the X-2 concept of Sikorsky!
Big thank you to all of you who have supported me to get to the point where I can get such access, it continuously impresses me what this community is able to achieve. I have also asked Sikorsky if any of you have questions on their design, that we could make a follow up sometime in the future. So ask away and let's try to get your questions answered directly from the source.
