The Racer is a one-off demonstrator model that combines traditional overheard rotor blades with two forward-facing propellors in a bid to combine stability and speed, shortening response times for critical missions like search-and-rescue."There are missions where the quickest possible access to the zone is vital.
Airbus Helicopters was due to fly the aircraft at its Marignane base outside Marseille in front of 150 industry officials, politicians and representatives from the European Union, which gave support through its Clean Sky 2 initiative. The demonstration comes months after Italy's Leonardo and U.S. manufacturer Bell agreed to co-operate on enhancing existing tilt-rotor technology.It has been our privilege to have the trust and support of our East Coast communities for the last 200 years.
