Amongst GTA Online's flying vehicles, helicopters are probably the most useful. They are easier to control than warplanes while carrying a bigger number of weapons than small crafts like the Oppressor. However, people usually considered them to be slower than other vehicle types.
However, this is completely incorrect. In this article, we are going to list out the top 5 fastest helicopters in GTA Online.
Table of Contents
5 - Havok
- Max speed: 284.24 km/h
- Price: $2,300,900
The Nagasaki Havok is an ultralight helicopter featured in GTA Online as part of the Smuggler's Run update. Its top speed is 248.24 km/h, with excellent maneuverability and a small frame for tight corners. It can be further fitted with a machine gun for some measure of firepower.
The only weakness of the Havok is its look - the thing is almost like a glass bowl with some sticks poking out on the side.
4 - Swift
- Max speed: 251.86 km/h
- Price: $1,600,000
The Buckingham Swift is a luxury helicopter featured in GTA Online as part of the San Andreas Flight School Update. The Swift is considered a private shuttle helicopter with astounding aerodynamics - you can maneuver the sky of Los Santos pretty easily, even at high speed. Its top speed is 251.86 km/h, with superb acceleration.
The weakest part of the Swift is probably its low armor and the lack of weapons. You pretty much only use this chopper for doing quests.
3 - Akula
- Max speed: 253.07 km/h
- Price: $3,704,050
The Akula is the fastest weaponized helicopter in GTA Online. It is a stealth gunship attack helicopter added to the game with the Doomsday Heist update. It's able to go up to 253.07 km/h with amazing speed, armor, and handling.

2 - Swift Deluxe
- Max speed: 253.87 km/h
- Price: $5,150,000
The Buckingham Swift Deluxe is an upgraded version of the Swift. It is added to GTA Online as part of the Ill-Gotten Gains Part 1 update. Overall, it is just an expensive item for you to show your prestige. It performs mostly the same as the normal Swift, with a slightly faster top speed of 253.87 km/h.
The Swift Deluxe is gold plated, similar to the Luxor Deluxe, the most expensive vehicle in GTA Online. You can't sell this vehicle once purchased.
