At Leonardo's Cascina Costa (Varese, Italy) site, the first ground run, with rotor testing, of the Next Generation Civil Tiltrotor (#NGCTR) Technology Demonstrator (TD) took place. The next phase of the programme involves intensive testing in the coming months, with the aim of performing the first flight by the end of 2024 and then accumulating 200 flight hours to expand operational capabilities in helicopter and aircraft modes. NGCTR’s Technology Demonstrator was built by #Leonardo with the aim to design, develop and demonstrate in flight innovative #tiltrotor technologies, paving the way for future product developments. Using the #AW609 fuselage, the NGCTR-TD incorporates technologies adaptable to possible future programmes and to industry development. These include an advanced wing architecture; an optimized V-Tail configuration that reduces trim drag; a non-tilting engine set-up, with a split gearbox, thus allowing a wider selection of engines and the avoidance of ground hot gas impingement and ground noise reduction; an advanced Fly-by-Wire Control that employs a modular, distributed, and scalable Flight Control System. Furthermore, an efficient nacelle architecture which minimises drag and improve control and reduces flapping in VTOL mode by a differential control of nacelle tilting. This initiative, part of the #CleanSky2 project, is one of the key projects of the Leonardo’s #Sustainability Plan. It is an important example of advanced mobility technologies combining improved performances and lower emissions, with a positive impact on citizen’s security.
