Ha ha, no idea what the RN website is claiming but I've never seen more than about 140kts out of a HAS3 and 135kts out of an HMA8 above that the shaking is unbearable, the gauges are redlining and the fuel consumption gets silly. Worth noting the speed record holding Lynx wasn't a normal machine and could barely hover due to the control rigging.
