Tyrant King
You guys been holding out on me!
This is a model Apparently Shown at the 2012 Zhuhai Airshow Airshow. Now the blog I found it on Thought It reembled the Sikorsky X2 I think He's only Half Right. The Rotor system is Close To the X2 but the tractor props are like those on the Eurocopter X cubed. Looking at it If built it seems it would only be a demonstrator and based on the Exhaust port a single engine at that. So that means that the Chinese would be using Transmissions one for the main Rotor set one or maybe two for the Props. Now the Advantage of the two Props in my view would not be speed but rather turn. The Turn rate on this bird would be much faster if they used the Rotors Thrust as part of the Turn. Slow or invert the turn of one side well speeding the other. It's Smart. I would bet that with the right engines if built you would be clocking the same speeds as either the X2 or X3. the Design also In my mind Shows a possibility of being scaled for Future types including possible Light medium and Attack types. It's much more realistic then the ducted Rotor UAV art and Would offer fixed wing speed in a vertical platform.
