Building on Successful Historic Work
Tilt Wing aircraft designs such as the XC-142 AND CL-142 have been successful for over 50 years
New Technologies
- Use the new technologies of Distributed Electric Propulsion ( DEP) and Digital Flight Control ( DFCS) to overcome the complexity in these earlier tilt wing designs
- Use modern but proven power plants , systems and crashworthiness concepts
- Design incorporates Reliability Centered Maintenance with systems and structures monitoring concepts to limit operating costs
- Designed using modern design and simulation tools and process
