What does our slogan 'Specialist in spoilers' mean? ✅ Unique design ✅ Best quality ✅ Optimal aerodynamics ✅ Perfect fit

At Leonardo's Cascina Costa (Varese, Italy) site, the first ground run, with rotor testing, of the Next Generation Civil Tiltrotor (#NGCTR) Technology Demonstrator (TD) took place. The next phase of the programme involves intensive testing in the coming months, with the aim of performing the first flight by the end of 2024 and then accumulating 200 flight hours to expand operational capabilities in helicopter and aircraft modes.   NGCTR’s Technology Demonstrator was built by #Leonardo with the aim to design, develop and demonstrate in flight innovative #tiltrotor technologies, paving the way for future product developments. Using the #AW609 fuselage, the NGCTR-TD incorporates technologies adaptable to possible future programmes and to industry development. These include an advanced wing architecture; an optimized V-Tail configuration that reduces trim drag; a non-tilting engine set-up, with a split gearbox, thus allowing a wider selection of engines and the avoidance of ground hot gas impingement and ground noise reduction; an advanced Fly-by-Wire Control that employs a modular, distributed, and scalable Flight Control System. Furthermore, an efficient nacelle architecture which minimises drag and improve control and reduces flapping in VTOL mode by a differential control of nacelle tilting.   This initiative, part of the #CleanSky2 project, is one of the key projects of the Leonardo’s #Sustainability Plan. It is an important example of advanced mobility technologies combining improved performances and lower emissions, with a positive impact on citizen’s security.   Learn more: https://lnkd.in/dMkEEzNR

I wrote a short article about the aerodynamics of the Mink and how it can improve energy efficiency of the car towing it.

Discover the Innovation Behind the Dtorque 50 ⚙️ Reimagined diesel power: smoother, lighter (than an inboard), and more compact. Today’s spotlight: SPACEBALL TECHNOLOGY Two of the key innovations of the Neander Dtorque 50 are the Dual Crankshaft and revolutionary Spaceball Design. By generating opposing forces, the Dual Crankshaft eliminates almost all vibrations and oscillations that would otherwise arise on the control axis, which would make it difficult to use such a small and powerful two-cylinder diesel engine. The advantages for the user are obvious: reduced noise and vibration, and greatly improved manouverability. For diesel people, by diesel people.

🚁⚙️ Blast from the Past: Series 3 - Leonardo’s Lift-Off Vision🚀 Welcome back to Blast from the Past! 👀 This time, we’re rewinding to 1500 AD, where the legendary Leonardo da Vinci—a true Renaissance genius and the “Father of the Modern Bearing” —sketched an engineering marvel that still impacts us today. Leonardo’s aerial screw design wasn’t just an early concept of flight; it introduced a revolutionary bearing structure that’s strikingly similar to modern designs. His innovative sketch included two rings, or races, with rolling balls in between, held together by a cage to prevent contact and reduce friction. This cage kept everything running smoothly—a principle that powers today’s machinery, from cars to aircraft. ✈️🚗 Want to check out these legendary drawings for yourself? You can find them at the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana in Milan—a must-see for anyone inspired by his vision! 🖼️ Though his aerial screw didn’t lift off, Leonardo’s bearing concept soared beyond his era. His vision laid the groundwork for bearings to become an engineering staple, truly taking off during the Industrial Revolution. 🌎 Today, his relentless curiosity still inspires us to push boundaries in every field. 💡 And the innovation didn’t stop there! Stay tuned for Series 4 🌠, where we’ll see how Galileo’s discovery of the caged bearing added precision and set the stage for modern machinery. 🚀 Let’s roll the world together! 🔧💪 - Rotis d.o.o. #EngineeringHistory  #windenergy  #LeonardoDaVinci #windturbine #AerospaceEngineering  #MechanicalDesign  #BearingTechnology   #EngineeringLegends  #IndustrialRevolution  #FutureOfEngineering   #RenaissanceEngineering  #EngineeringInspiration  #TechEvolution #MechanicalEngineering #SlewingSolutions #MuseumOfEngineering   #LeonardoLegacy #Milan #SlewingBearings #Bearing #rings

I’m very excited to share with you this video where Xavier Lepercq is explaining a bit about the development of our ILE ram air kites! (Mix between a inflatable and ram air kite)
