Seconded to the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO).Leonardo Helicopters is developing the world's first civil Tilt-rotor, the AW609, this will also be the first civil Powered Lift aircraft. I was seconded to the ICAO to bring the knowledge and operational experience gained by Leonardo Helicopters in the development of the AW609 to the organisation. This knowledge will be of use to ICAO as it develops guidance and eventually standard and recommended practices for the introduction of Tilt-rotors and more broadly Powered Lift into civil airspace.
