The X-wing provides a VTOL aircraft which has a low disc loading hover capability, similar to a conventional helicopter, combined with a high subsonic cruise speed capability. As a result, it hovers with low fuel flow rates which make extended hover duration missions practical. Its low hover power requirements also permit hovering and low speed flight on only one engine in a high speed twin engine aircraft design. The NASA DARPA Sikorsky RSRA X-wing program developed flightworthy X-wing hardware. All design activity and the majority of its component fabrication is completed. A design study was performed on an X-wing concept demonstrator aircraft which is based on the RSRA X-wing components, combined with two MTE engines and a new fuselage.
