The technologies developed within the project represent a major step forward in the design of next\u2011generation aircraft and rotorcraft, offering the potential for reduced production costs and improved operational efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On 25 February 2026, the aircraft was officially unveiled, accompanied by an in\u2011flight demonstration. The event gathered representatives of the Clean Sky \/ Clean Aviation Joint Undertaking, as well as delegations from the companies involved in the project\u2019s development, including representatives of \u0141ukasiewicz \u2013 ILOT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the meeting in Vergiate, the TRAIL project received high recognition from Leonardo Helicopters, and a symbolic award was presented to the project coordinator, Marek Tabor<\/strong>, on behalf of the entire team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Leonardo Helicopters has conducted the maiden flight of the Next Generation Civil Tiltrotor Demonstrator (NGCTR-TD), developed under the Clean Sky 2 Joint Undertaking programme. This historic milestone took place on 19 December 2025 in Cascina Costa, marking the start of the flight\u2011test campaign for one of Europe\u2019s most advanced projects in the field of sustainable […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":339,"featured_media":107294,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_seopress_analysis_target_kw":"","inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[1616,1579,1288,1617,1618,1172,1619,1620,1621,1448,1622,1623,1624,1625],"class_list":["post-107302","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-aerospace-industry","tag-aviation","tag-clean-sky-2","tag-composite-technologies","tag-innovations","tag-innowacje","tag-lukasiewicz-institute-of-aviation-2","tag-ngctr-td","tag-polish-engineering","tag-przemysl-lotniczy","tag-sustainable-transport","tag-technology-demonstrator","tag-tiltrotor","tag-trail-project"],"acf":{"czas_czytania":"3","wyroznij":false},"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-05-29 10:23:59","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ilot.lukasiewicz.gov.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/107302","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ilot.lukasiewicz.gov.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ilot.lukasiewicz.gov.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ilot.lukasiewicz.gov.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/339"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ilot.lukasiewicz.gov.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=107302"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/ilot.lukasiewicz.gov.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/107302\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":107304,"href":"https:\/\/ilot.lukasiewicz.gov.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/107302\/revisions\/107304"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ilot.lukasiewicz.gov.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/107294"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ilot.lukasiewicz.gov.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=107302"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ilot.lukasiewicz.gov.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=107302"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ilot.lukasiewicz.gov.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=107302"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/ilot.lukasiewicz.gov.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2026\/03\/0225-NGRT-CR3_9451.jpg\")
