Sikorsky X2 Breaks Helicopter Speed Record

“Two hundred and fifty-nine miles per hour. That’s how fast the Sikorsky X2 flew during a recent test flight in Florida. The flight broke a record that had stood since 1986 when a Westland Lynx managed 249 mph.

Helicopters traditionally are limited by the complex aerodynamics created with the moving rotor blades losing lift when they are moving backwards relative to the direction of flight. A propeller at the rear of the helicopter allows the X2 pilot to fly at higher speeds while minimizing the problems associated with high speed flight and the main rotors.”

Egads! I don’t even think Airwolf could fly that fast.

One study shows that for every hour of television, kids spend 11% less time in creative activities. Three hours of TV adds up to a one-third drop in creativity.

What concerns me, and others in the security community, however, is that if simply visiting a website with your iPhone can cause it to be jailbroken - just imagine what else could hackers do by exploiting this vulnerability?
