Lockheed Martin: Sikorsky unveils hybrid VTOL project
This design is the first in a series of next-generation large VTOL aircraft - ranging from more traditional helicopters to winged configurations - that will feature varying degrees of electrification and an advanced autonomy system for optional piloted flight.
' Our HEX demonstration program will provide valuable information as we envision a future family of aircraft built to scale and in the preferred configurations relevant to commercial and military customers', commented Sikorsky President Paul Lemmo.
The HEX program will focus on a range in excess of 500 nautical miles at high speed, fewer mechanical systems to reduce complexity, and lower maintenance costs.
