Iain Percy uses the example of an Artemis Racing yacht in the Amazon River to explain how powering a boat with absolute no wind is in fact possible and could make for a sustainable future!

KTM X BOW GT4 Race Car Nürburgring Action

KTM X Bow GT4 car in Action @ Nürburgring Nordschleife "Grüne Hölle - green Hell" - Hello and welcome to the Car Acceleration TV youtube channel. in todays Video we can see the KTM X Bow GT4 in Action. In the rear of the KTM X-Bow GT4 is a standard 2.0 TFSI from the Volkswagen Group, Generation EA113 in CDL form, modified of course. The direct injection engine is expected to provide 360 hp, after the so-called balance-of-performance classification, however, only 320 remain - because they only have to swamp around a ton of weight. Enjoy acceleration sounds of the KTM X Bow GT4 @ Nürburgring !

Sikorsky Raider Helicopter Hits 200 Knots
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=92&v=Elh0IM7Zp2U

Quote:
The Sikorsky S-97 Raider light tactical prototype helicopter exceeded 200 knots during last month’s flight test. The suite of X2 Technologies enables the aircraft to operate at high speeds while maintaining the low-speed handling qualities and maneuverability of conventional single main rotor helicopters. Raider will be presented for the U.S. Army’s Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft (FARA) competition, as the Army looks to revolutionize its aircraft fleet via its Future Vertical Lift initiative.
Where those two articles came from.

Airbus's Record-Setting Compound Helicopter Could Become The Army's New Armed Scout Chopper[

Quote:
By comparison, the Army’s AH-64E Apache gunship has a top speed of more than 170 miles per hour. That helicopter’s manufacturer Boeing, however, is in developing a compound helicopter conversion that could boost the Apache’s speed to over 255 miles per hour.
