RAES talks about Powered Lift in terms of mini UAVs as well as well aircraft like Harrier, Dave B and Osprey. Some interesting topics at the conference back in July. What rating do the guys who fly the Bell/Agusta BA609 tliltrotor fly on? Presumably the same as Art got for his SHAR.
In the UK I think most of the current civilian Harrier TPs are all ex-mil harrier pilots anyway.
