   Anyone got a pic of that Russian copter with the two opposing rotors. Saw one crash on some video, pretty horrific as a bloke just jumped out at low level and the whole thing lands on him

    Not any more.

    The Sikorsky X2 is.
    
    

    On 26 July 2010, Sikorsky announced that the X2 exceeded 225 knots (259 mph) during flight testing in West Palm Beach Florida, unofficially surpassing the current FAI rotorcraft world speed record of 216 knots (249 mph) set by a modified Westland Lynx in 1986.[8] The X2 flight was purposefully made 37 years to the date of the S-69's first flight.[9] On 15 September 2010, test pilot Kevin Bredenbeck achieved Sikorsky's design goal for the X2 when he flew the aircraft at a speed of 250 knots (290 mph)
