For the first time, rotorcraft manufacturer Sikorsky powered up the Raider X prototype aircraft, which features the new GE Aerospace T901 Improved Turbine Engine. The engine, originally developed for the US Army's now-cancelled Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft (FARA) programme, will eventually power the army's Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawks and Boeing AH-64 Apache helicopters.
Although the FARA programme has been cancelled, and the two prototype aircraft are not expected to fly, Sikorsky and the US Army are conducting limited ground testing of the T901 engine in the Raider X prototype to gather data in support of integrating the powerplant into the Black Hawk fleet.
Smoke seen during the initial engine ignition is preservation oil being burned off, not a mechanical issue.

Sad that there are no plans to see her fly. She is a good looking aircraft.

Give it a nose mount 30mm chain gun with active short range radar and fast program proximity fuse rounds. Excellent drone defense.

It's so unfortunate they lost the bid for the contract. If Only They had the Head Start to improve on the technology.

​@@robdi4585 Sikorsky did not lose the FARA bid, the US Army canceled the program unexpectedly. You may be thinking of FLRAA.
