An overview on the research of a high-speed compound helicopter carried out in JAXA is presented. A distinctive configuration of a compound helicopter was proposed by JAXA. The main rotor is combined with a fixed wing to generate lift. The torque caused by the main rotor is canceled out by a couple of motor-driven propellers installed on the fixed-wing tips with differential thrusts between them.
