Although The Guinness Book of Records recorded the XF-84H as the fastest propeller-driven aircraft ever built, with a design top speed of 670 mph (1,080 km/h) (Mach 0.9) and 623 mph (1,003 km/h) (Mach 0.83) during tests, this claim has been disputed.
Retarding blades do not suffer this problem as the airspeed at the tips is reduced, by virtue of the fact that the blades are travelling in the same direction as the airflow caused by flight. <br /> For example: Suppose the speed of Rotor Blade tip (helo in a hover) = 350mph. Speed of the Helicopter in flight = 150mph. Speed of Advancing Blade (in flight) = 350 + 150 = 500mph This simple calculation will determine the maximum speed of the helicopter. Most typical helicopters can only go about 150mph or maybe a little faster. Compound helicopters or the V-22 Tilt-Rotor can fly at over 200mph or even 300mph. The maximum airspeed of a helicopter is limited by the speed of the rotor blade.
