are also among the fastest in the world? In this article, we will be exploring the top
ten fastest helicopters on the market. From the Eurocopter X3 and Sikorsky S-97
Raider to the AgustaWestland AW609 and Bell 525 Relentless, these helicopters are
capable of reaching impressive speeds that put them in a league of their own. Keep
reading to learn more about the top ten fastest helicopters in the world.
1-Eurocopter x-cube:
The top speed is 293 miles per hour, and 472 kilometers an hour. The Euro copter
x-cube was specifically built and designed to be a high-speed long-range hybrid
technology demonstrator helicopter by brilliant minds. Over at Euro copter SAS is
famous for its ability to carry out both military and civilian missions. The x-cube can
perform long-distance search-and-rescue missions and Coast Guard duties with the
same efficiency. As it brings about terror between enemy lines it features. A partial
glass cockpit capable of accommodating up to two crew members and a cabin that
can either be used for storage or converted to carry additional passengers. It is
powered by two Rolls-Royce Turbo MECA RTM 322 turboshaft engines each of
which produces up to 1735 kilowatts of outlet power.
2-Westland Lynx:
The top speed is 250 miles an hour, 400 kilometers an hour. The Westland Lynx was
built for speed and designed by British manufacturers Westland helicopters at their
Factory in Yeovil. This multi-purpose twin-engine military helicopter has built a
reputation for speed efficiency and versatility. Since its first operational usage in
1977, the Lynx has gone on to find a variety of uses in various nations of the world
that use its services in the roles of battlefield utility anti-armor search-and-rescue,
and anti-submarine warfare. The Lynx cockpit has the capability to seat two
operators with a cabin located right behind the cockpit which can accommodate up
to 10 fully geared troops depending on how they’re arranged.
3-MIL-MI-24:
Top speed 208 miles per hour, 335 kilometers an hour, produced by Mil Moscow
helicopter plan in 1972 and operated by the Soviet air force. The MIL MI-24 is not the
kind of attack helicopter you’d want to meet. In a dark alley designed to demonstrate
rock-hard resistance to impact the mi-24 fuselage is armored and has been shown to
take twelve point seven seven-millimeters from all angles. The rotor blades
themselves are made from titanium and equally, as bullet resistant with a cockpit
being shielded by ballistic-resistant wind windscreens titanium armor tongue. It
functions primarily as a helicopter gunship attack helicopter and low-capacity tree
transport with power to carry all this way being dead through a pair of Klimov series
turbine engines each delivering up to 2,200 horsepower.
4-Mil MI-28:
Top speed of 200 miles per hour, 320 kilometers per hour. The MIL MI-28 is the
ultimate all-rounder. This Russian all-weather two-seat attack helicopter was
designed to be as effective as it is durable. It has a fully armored cabin with
bullet-resistant shields that can stand up to 7.62 and 12.7.12.7-millimeter-piercing
bullets and 20-millimeter shell fragments in its five blades. The main rotor is mounted
above the body midsection while the weak weapon-carrying is fitted snugly to the
rear of the body midsection. Tandem stepped-up cockpits and a cannon mounted
beneath the belly complete the picture giving this helicopter a sleek and menacing
look as it dives at its targets at speeds ranging up to 200 miles per hour.
5- CH-47 Chinook:
Top speed of 196 miles per hour 315 kilometers an hour the ch-47 Chinook was
developed by American rotorcraft company Vertol and manufactured by Boeing
vertol to be one of the heaviest lifters in the aircraft business it is an American
twin-engine tandem rotor heavy-lift helicopter that has since found its way to
militaries around the world such as Canada the UK Japan Italy and continues to
impress with its capabilities it has several options for loading cargo including multiple
doors across the fuselage a wide loading ramp located at the rear of the fuselage
and a total of three external ventral cargo hooks that carry underslung loads. The
ch-47 chinook rockets at speeds up to 196 miles per hour at a range of 460 miles.
6-Sikorsky CH-53 Sea Stallion:
Top speed 196 miles per hour 315 kilometers the Sikorsky ch-53 sea stallion was
designed and built in the United States for the US Marine Corps as a heavy lift
helicopter system it was heavily deployed throughout the Vietnam War and has
made its way to military systems in Germany and Israel known for its mechanical
strength the ch-53 can carry a crew of four people a load of 38 troops an internal
cargo load of 8,000 pounds or an external load of 13,000 pounds and still clip along
at a respectable speed of 196 miles per hour with a range of 621 miles. If you
thought these heavy loads would stop the ch-53 from packing heat think again it is
equipped with a pair of 7.62 by 51 millimeter NATO and 60 machine guns that point
out to each side of the fuselage.
7-KA 52 Alligator:
Top speed 196 miles per hour 315 km/h the KA 52 was developed by the comma
design bureau to be as lethal and Swift as mechanically possible made for the
Russian air force this aircraft is a twin c variant of the KA 50 attack helicopter it was
designed to see two crew members side by side in k37 800 m ejection seats while
setting out on their mission to target and destroy both armored and unarmored
ground targets as well as low-speed aerial targets and personnel at the frontline and
in tactical death. Capable of speeds of up to 196 miles an hour and flight at altitudes
reaching 50 500 meters it is easy to see why the KS 52 alligator is considered one of
the best attack helicopters in the world.
8-AW 159 Wildcat:
Top speed 193 miles per hour 311 kilometers per hour the aw159 wildcat was built
for battle having made it in that battlefield utility search and rescue and anti-surface
warfare roles its effectiveness in these roles has seen it being appointed as the

list in favor of style and favors portable ride this luxury chopper is powered by a pair
of Pratt and Whitney Canada PW 2 Whitney Canada engines which function to boost
efficiency improve performance and reduce noise it is also equipped with several
avionics systems including a Rockwell Collins glass cockpit digital maps dual radar
altimeters health and usage monitoring systems and night vision goggles
compatibility.
