Company presents helicopter-airplane

A hybrid helicopter capable to fly more than the 400 km/h must be one of the attractions of the Aerial Hall of Paris, between 20 and 26 of June.

For being an aircraft that flies how much an airplane so quickly, but with the maneuverability of a helicopter, the manufacturers of the Eurocopter are calling it to X3 “watershed”.

The Eurocopter says that the X3 can be used for operations of search and rescue and any another mission where the speed is primordial.

Beyond the horizontal helices that make possible the vertical take-off and landing, the hybrid has also two turboprop ones mounted in small wings that allow speeds above of 400 kilometers for the moment.
