List of military helicopters with cruising speeds in excess of 155 knots
This statistic shows the helicopters designed for military use which have cruising speeds equal to or greater than 155 knots. The cruising speed of an aircraft is usually the speed at which it is most economic to fly, slightly faster than the speed which allows for its maximum range, but also slower than the aircraft's top speed. Of these helicopters, there is a massive drop in cruising speed between the Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey in fourth place and the Boeing CH-47D/F Chinook in fifth place, with the Osprey having a cruising speed with a whopping 98 knots (or an additional 54%) on the Chinook's cruising speed of 170 knots.
