205 knots and counting for #SB1Defiant. Thanks to the coaxial rotors and propulsor, this #FVL aircraft will be the fastest military helicopter ever.— Boeing Defense (@BoeingDefense) June 16, 2020

Remove the cockpit and the passenger compartment, add wings, get a good mission computer/AI into the darn thing and you have the vertical take-off and landing combat UAV the Marines are looking for.
The tech works great in a smaller package so I'm not sure why Sikorsky isn't pushing that angle but time will tell.
It's good to see them finally on track.
