	X2 Coaxial Helicopters
		Sikorsky Aircraft today announced plans to build and test a demonstrator for a new class of coaxial X2 Technology helicopters that maintain or improve on all the vertical flight capabilities of rotorcraft and whose high speed configuration will cruise at 250 knots.
		Sikorsky selected the term X2 Technology in order to describe a class of helicopters with a coaxial design, describe the multiplying effect of applying a suite of modern technologies to coaxial helicopters.
		The Cypher UAV expanded company knowledge of the unique aspects of flight control laws in a fly by wire aircraft that employed coaxial rotors The RAH-66 Comanche developed expertise in composite rotors and advanced transmission design.

	Sikorsky MARINER/"Cypher II" helicopter - development history, photos, technical data
		The "Cypher" family of UAVs employs a ducted fan consisting of two four-blade coaxial rotors to generate lift for hover mode.
		The Cypher II/Dragon Warrior is capable of carrying a 45 lb payload to a station 100 nm away and loitering for 2 hours.
		Sikorsky is currently under a $5.46 million contract to deliver 2 prototypes and 4 ground stations, with a $3.76 million option to deliver 10 additional aircraft to production standard.

	Sikorsky feels the need for spee
		Sikorsky revealed in a statement that preliminary design work for the demonstrator is finished and parts fabrication for the aircraft has begun.
		Sikorsky says the project should be able to double the range of the helicopter without sacrificing vertical lift and the hovering performance of the vehicle, something that the company feels is sacrificed on platforms such as the V-22 where the aircraft has to undergo a transformation to perform two different roles.
		The UAV Sikorsky is suggesting as an outgrowth of the X2 would have be capable of staying in the air for more than five hours with a 250 knot cruise speed to station thereby offering excellent reconnaissance potential and a UCAV with a full suite of weapons is also possible.

		Cypher's shape offers several advantages over a helicopter, which also uses rotors to fly.
		Cypher's designers are now testing all its capabilities before it takes to the skies to fly and spy.

		Ironically, the real flying saucer, which is called Cypher, has not yet provoked any similar episodes, partly because timely articles in the local press at some of the places where the saucer has been flown have explained its earthly origins and missions.
		Built by a small team at Sikorsky Aircraft in Stratford, Conn., the two-meter-diameter flier is a rotary-wing aircraft, similar in some respects to a helicopter.
		Cypher is not the first experimental vehicle to exploit this propulsion scheme, which eliminates the need for a tail rotor.

		"Cypher" is about 6.5 feet in diameter, weighs 250 pounds on takeoff, and can carry 50-pound payloads--so even the smallest humans would have trouble hitching a ride on this UFO.
		Instead, Cypher is operated remotely through a fly-by-wire system similar to that found on Comanche helicopters.
		Sikorsky is already planning to build the aircraft in different sizes, so if anyone buys into the project, Cyphers could range in size from cargo-hauling workhorses to 40-pound backpack models.

		Grapevine, Tx.: Sikorsky is answering the helicopter, and the UAV world’s, need for speed with something industry has called for but never done – a high tech demo helicopter design incorporating many of the advances in the state of the rotorcraft art.
		Sikorsky's X2, the coaxial-rotor technology demonstrator for a compound helicopter that the company says will achieve 250 kts at 10,000 ft in ISA by the end of 2006, will have to overcome the drag inherent in helicopter with two main rotors and a large, complex hub.
		The development money is Sikorsky's and Pino wasn't telling how much they were spending on the programme, but it is clear that a pragmatic approach is being taken with the demonstrator, which will use as many off-the-shelf parts as possible.

		Use of the Cypher UAV in the US Army’s Bird Dog program demonstrated technologies that enabled the linking of manned and unmanned airborne systems. Sikorsky is also looking to develop smaller unmanned air vehicles, including manportable systems. These small UAVs would be used at the squad level.
		The Cypher II is about the same size and shape as the original Cypher but has a more sophisticated central processing unit and, due to the addition of a pusher propeller and snap-on wings, better stability in forward flight.
		Sikorsky may no longer be pursuing the Cypher UAV program, but it remains interested in the unmanned vehicles field. The company is involved in the Unmanned Combat Armed Rotorcraft (UCAR) program.

		The first proof-of-concept Cypher was 1.75 meters (5 feet 9 inches) in diameter and 55 centimeters (1 foot 10 inches) tall, weighed 20 kilograms (43 pounds), and was first flown in the summer of 1988.
		After an initial free flight in 1993, the Cypher prototype was used in flight tests and demonstrations through most of the 1990s, ultimately leading to a next-generation design, the Cypher II, which was a competitor in the US Navy VT-UAV competition.
		The Cypher II was similar in size to its predecessor, but had a pusher propeller along with its rotor and could be fitted with wings for long-range reconnaissance missions.
