The project is in the R&amp;D phase right now,&#8221; the source said.<\/p>\n<p>The official speed record for helicopters is 400.87 kmph (249.09 mph), according to the Swiss-based World Air Sports Federation (FAI), which keeps track of aeronautic records. The world record was set by an English demonstration team in 1986.<\/p>\n<p>The tech industry source spoke of an &#8220;entirely new class of helicopters,&#8221; saying it would be an advanced multipurpose aircraft built with a state-of-the-art technology.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Its cockpit will be equipped with multipurpose displays that show any kind of data at any given time \u2013 and not with pointer indicators,&#8221; the source said, adding there was still no date set for a prototype.<\/p>\n<p>Russia is reportedly allocating large sums to build an advanced high-speed helicopter. A prototype engine is expected to be unveiled by the Klimov design bureau later this year.<\/p>\n<p>Rival aircraft manufacturers \u2013 Eurocopter and Sikorsky \u2013 are testing prototype models, with the Sikorsky X2 surpassing 460 kmph and Eurocopter X3 featuring slightly lower speed but superior cost-effectiveness.<\/p>\n<p><em>Source:\u00a0Sputnik \/ Washington, \u00a0(03\u00a0February 2015)\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Russia is developing a cutting-edge multipurpose aircraft with the use of a state-of-the-art technology.
