How Fast Is RC Helicopter?

Racing RC helicopters hit 250 m/s — 900 km/h, faster than most fighter jets. Pilots fly them by line-of-sight at relatively short distances; the actual challenge is reflexes, with helicopter physics demanding constant high-speed correction at the limit.

Racing RC helicopters fly faster than most fighter jets — limited only by pilot reflexes, not engineering.
