McDonnell XV-1: First Helicopter to Break 200 MPH Speed Record

The McDonnell XV-1 Convertiplane was a revolutionary experimental aircraft designed in the 1950s by McDonnell Aircraft under a joint U.S. Air Force and Army program. It was created to achieve vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) like a helicopter while flying faster like a plane. Using tip-jet rotor technology and a pusher propeller, it reached over 200 mph, breaking rotorcraft speed records. Though never mass-produced, it paved the way for modern tiltrotor aircraft like the V-22 Osprey. In this video, we take a deep dive into the design, development, technology, flight tests, and cancellation of the McDonnell XV-1. Discover how this unique aircraft pushed the limits of aerospace innovation, and why it remains a significant chapter in aviation history. 📌 Stay tuned to explore the full story behind one of the most fascinating experimental aircraft ever built. 00:00 - Intro Retro Transport 00:05 - McDonnell XV-1 History 03:16 - Outro Retro Transport #RetroTransport #McDonnellXV1 #Convertiplane #ExperimentalAircraft #VTOL #AviationHistory #Aircraft #Aviation #Rotorcraft #MilitaryAircraft
