ADYN - Advanced European Tiltrotor Dynamics and Noise

2002-2006

Contract Number G4RD-CT-2002-00773 (Project Number GRD1-2001-40126)

European Research Project.

The research contribution from “Dipartimento di Scienze e Tecnologie Aerospaziali” (at that time Dipartimento di Ingegneria Aerospaziale) of “Politecnico di Milano” is focused on the use of multibody analysis to accurately predict the stability boundaries and the dynamics of a tiltrotor wind tunnel model.

Partners:

• Agusta
• CIRA
• DLR
• Eurocopter
• Eurocopter Deutschland
• Ingegneria dei Sistemi
• NLR
• National Technical University of Athens
• ONERA
• Politecnico di Milano

Points of contact are Professor Massimiliano Lanz (POLIMI coordinator) and Dr. Pierangelo Masarati.
