FORMOSA PROJECT: AN INNOVATIVE CONTROL SURFACE DEVELOPED FOR THE NEXT GENERATION CIVIL TILTROTOR

02 May 2023 — 0 minutes read

The FORMOSA consortium, led by Politecnico di Milano and CEiiA, achieved on April 2023 its last milestone.

The project, addressed to the framework of the Clean Aviation Fast Rotorcraft IADP and funded by #Horizon2020, was aimed to design an innovative movable surface with multiple functions for the NextGen Civil #Tiltrotor developed by Leonardo Helicopters, including roll/flap controls, and download reduction.

The new configuration reached the Preliminary Design Review and it was tested on a 1:1 scaled functional mock-up.

We show it here: good vision!
