High-speed helicopter - DLR develops key components for the RACER flying demonstrator
More than 400 kilometres per hour – that is how fast the Rapid And Cost-Effective Rotorcraft (Racer), which was presented by Airbus Helicopters at the Paris Air Show on 20 June 2017, will fly. The German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum fuer Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) is playing a key role in the aerodynamic design of the wings and the tail plane. To minimise the noise emissions, DLR researchers have analysed the acoustic properties of the new helicopter configuration, which in addition to the main rotor also has two small, so-called box-wings with extra rotors. The newly-introduced technology demonstrator is part of the Clean Sky 2 European aeronautics research programme.
