The helicopter world speed record was actually set on 11th August over the Somerset Levels over a 15km course at an altitude of 500ft and averaged over two runs. The Lynx (registration G-LYNX) was fitted with uprated Rolls-Royce Gem 60 engines fitted with a water-methanol injection system and underwent a three month program to streamline the airframe. What made the attempt possible was the design of the rotor blades which employed modern carbon-fibre construction, which is so strong, they would outlast the airframe. The end of each blade was fitted with a wide "paddle" at each tip to delay the onset of airflow breakup. The Lynx is also one of the very few helicopters able to both barrel roll and loop the loop due to a specially designed titanium rotor head. Anyone interested in the Lynx is invited to watch a short film I made a few years ago about a Lynx visiting our local Air Cadets. The film was made in the same locale as the world record run 20 years previously. http://web.me.com/cdss/Videos/Fly_This%21.html Re item 6.
