The first flight of the newest tiltrotor S-280 Valor

Modern convertiplane model S-280 Valor was first tested during the flight tests, which tested the ability of the aircraft to rise vertically upward. The device successfully passed tests showing their advantages over older models. During the tests the aircraft S-280 Valor has demonstrated the ability to smooth vertical launch, followed by the transition of the screws in a different position to carry out the aircraft type of traction. The model of the heliplane was published on YouTube a video of how the aircraft rises into the air and hangs for a few seconds almost at the same place. The video that blur had hidden the most important part of the construction of the tiltrotor – the fixings of screws and engines.

This mechanism is classified, as unlike previous models, this unit does not turns the engine, and changes the angle of the screws themselves. The next step in the testing of tiltrotor will be a transition test thrust of the propellers in aircraft position.
