This is just a quick question for those who have an idea...
i was watching a show last night on helicopters, and the Lynx Helicopter was rated pretty high for its shere speed and maneuverability (they were pulling loops with it).
They mocked this up to its Swept Rotor Design, which has allowed a modified version of the ZB500 G-Lynx to reach speeds around 400km/h. my question is, why is this so, but other aircraft with the same feature are only reaching speeds around 200 km/h (such as the Cormorant for example)?
Is it the design of the actual aircrafts structure, its weight, or engine capabilities?
I did some searching around, but didnt really come up with any real information that answered my exact inquiry.
