This project – is creating the new generation helicopter – tilt rotor. The goal is to create the new generation helicopter prototype till the end of year 2012 and it will be useful in civil aviation in the Europe. This innovative product pays attention to the ecology and low noise level. Here the attention is paid to the gas turbine engine, which doesn’t blow off a lot of pollutants. Within the NICETRIP programme, AVIATEST LNK Laboratory is in charge (as task leader and technical contributor) of the task in relation with the functional testing on a whirl tower bench of the dynamic systems: hub and blades driver by a full development gearbox as mentioned in NICETRIP Description of Work. Target of that task was to “proof” the concepts for the rotor hub (DART), blade (ADYN, DART and national project) and drive system (TRISYD) under the challenge of complete integration and real flight loads.
