Latest flight footage of the S-97

Here's the latest footage from Sikorsky and @lockheedmartin of the S-97 Raider in flight. Sikorsky pilots Bill Fell and John Groth flew the S-97 Raider for 90 minutes at the Sikorsky Development Flight Center in West Palm Beach, Florida on June 28. Sikorsky also participated in the U.S. Army’s industry day on its draft solicitation for a new attack reconnaissance aircraft (see link in our profile for more details). According to Tim Malia, Sikorsky director of Future Vertical Lift, "We believe that the X2 aircraft family offers the military a scalable solution that will meet the evolving demands of a multi-domain battlespace. We are energized by the speed in which the Army is proceeding and our team is excited for the opportunity to provide a tremendous capability to our warfighter." #helicopter #sikorsky #lockheedmartin #s97 #usarmy #futureverticallift
