The US Army has reduced its Future Attack and Reconnaissance (FARA) competition to two contenders. Bell's 360 Invictus and Sikorsky's Raider X have been okayed to proceed to the prototype phase of a new "knife fighter" small assault helicopter.

Sikorsky has debuted the Raider X light attack reconnaissance helicopter, its entrant in the Army's Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft Competitive Prototype program, which is also being contested by Bell, AVX Aircraft, Boeing, and Karem Aircraft.

After 150 hours of envelope expansion flights, the Sikorsky HH-60W Combat Rescue Helicopter has been cleared by the US Air Force for initial an production run of 113 helicopters.

The US Air Force's next rescue helicopter took to the skies for the first time on Friday. Based on the venerable UH-60M Black Hawk​, the Sikorsky HH-60W Combat Rescue Helicopter​ will replace the HH-60G, which entered service in 1982.

The Sikorsky-Boeing SB>1 Defiant helicopter has taken to the air for the first time at the Sikorsky facility in West Palm Beach. Designed to have twice the speed and range of conventional rotorcraft, the demonstrator aircraft is being developed as part of the US Army's Future Vertical Lift program.

Sikorsky and Boeing have been working on this high-speed, long-range, ultra-maneuverable military helicopter design for some time, and now they’ve released the first photos of what is expected to become a highly effective US Army utility helicopter sometime in the 2030s.

​​Describing a helicopter as "optionally piloted" might not do much to comfort those onboard, but this is the future DARPA is aiming for with its Aircrew Labor In-Cockpit Automation System (ALIAS).

The US President's next official rotorcraft ride has made its maiden flight as a 250-hour flight test program for the Sikorsky VH-92A helicopter begins. According to Sikorsky parent company Lockheed Martin, the future Marine One took to the skies at Lockheed's Owego, New York facilities on July 28.

Sikorsky has announced that is will repurpose 10 ex-US military Black Hawk helicopters for aerial firebombing operations and year-round emergency and disaster relief in Australia and New Zealand.

Lockheed Martin has released a new video showing one of its two S-97 Raider prototype attack helicopters strutting its aerial stuff. The Raider is being developed as part of a bid to provide the US armed forces with their next generation of combat rotorcraft.

Lockheed Martin has provided a glimpse of its Sikorsky-Boeing Future Vertical Lift concept. The futuristic helicopter comes in Assault and Attack variants that build on the X2 demonstrator that set an unofficial helicopter speed record in 2010.

The Sikorsky CH-53K King Stallion helicopter has flexed its muscles, lifting a 27,000-lb (12,245-kg) payload at Sikorsky's Development Flight Test Center in West Palm Beach, Florida.
