The concept of "Airbus racing" (Airbus Racer) model, the rapid, efficient rotorcraft code Racer, will consist of a series of innovative features, will be cruising speed increase to more than 400 kilometers per hour, and will be committed to achieve speed, cost performance, the best balance of sustainability and task performance.

The tester program was started in 2019 assembly, and the next year to complete the first flight. Guillaume, chief executive of airbus, helicopter Faury said. "we put forward the future high-speed helicopter grand vision, through the clean sky in the second stage plan this new project, integration of the European partner skills and professional technology, with simple, safety, and validated the aerodynamic coefficient formula, on the basis of reasonable cost to improve speed and distance.

Racer tester will also benefit from metal and composite materials of the fuselage, the combination of the fuselage, specially designed for lightweight and low cost. It will also be equipped with a new high voltage direct current power generation device, will greatly reduce its weight.

Racer project will make this concept more tend to operate, and demonstrate its applicability for more tasks, while increasing the speed and efficiency will bring great added value to the public and operators. This feature is especially embodied in the emergency medical treatment and search and rescue mission, and public service, commercial air transport, the private and business aviation fields.
