The Russians are looking at advanced high speed helicopter concepts too (Paid Subscription Required):
Mil Mi-X1
Among the concepts are:
- The Mi-X1, a 5 ton class aircraft with a top speed of around 450-500 km/h.
- The Kamov Ka-92 which uses a coaxial rotor with retreating blades offloaded, much like Sikorsky’s X2 demonstrator.
- The Ka-90, which has a rotor which folds down along the fuselage for high speed (700 km/h) flight.
