AUSA 2015: Sikorsky?s big plans for Raider (video) - News - Shephard
Interview with Sikorsky at AUSA on the S-97. Not very impressive. The one guy did not get the script, he went beyond the vague press release and stated they got to only 20 knots in forward flights instead of putting no number on it so people could dream of higher speeds.
The other amazing thing stated was the SB-1 would benefit from the S-97 testing. Short of the 97 already uncovering a major design flaw (which is plausible based on the stagnation of the test effort) the SB-1 design is fixed by now. One year ago, at the original schedule, the 97 may have had an impact, but not now.
