#SB1Defiant Expands the Flight Envelope – Achieved 205 Knots

On June 9th, 2020, the #SB1Defiant continued its test regiment and expanded the flight envelope, achieving 205 knots, surpassing the top speed of the legendary Black Hawk. Sikorsky Chief Test Pilot, Bill Fell remarked that this milestone is just the beginning and that the #SB1Defiant has “got a lot more in it.” Reaching new speeds in low level flight will be key to providing the U.S. Army the capabilities they need to dominate the multidomain battlefields of the future.
