Tiltrotors in UK
Does anyone have any news on the introduction of civil tiltrotors either in the UK or US. I would like to look at possible charter in the very near future. If anyone does have any news please let me know.
:ok: |
Tony,
Depends on your definition of Very Near. The only tilt rotor on the horizon for civil cert is the BA-609, of which their web site says: "Certification on the BA609 is expected in 2007". Considering the technical hurdles, that is probably an energetic (but achievable) date. http://www.bellhelicopter.com/en/aircraft/commercial/ |
When??!!??
I worked for the Oz Bell reps for a while - they (Bell) were promising to have 609's at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney!!
Now 2007 - maybe!!:suspect: |
What chance of the UK CAA certificating a tiltrotor I wonder?

What chance of the UK CAA certificating a tiltrotor I wonder? The perfectly capable chappies at EASA will have the honour of certifying the BA-609 :} |
Tony-
Nick and LowNr are right; Bell says it will be the end of 2007 before certification and first BA609 deliveries. They also say the first two years of deliveries are sold out. |
