I assume that is close to the subsonic tip speed(which defines Vne for coaxial system), so if they put on "BURP" blades, woulden't they in theory be able to push that baby even faster?
Henrik,
With a rip-snorting airspeed goal of 288mph, They must be doing their homework on blades. If the burp blades were the best, I bet they would be on there. Since they are not, I would think the blades they are making for the X2 are the best for speed, assuming they succeed.
