Tests on a convertible aircraftmodel, that is to say, the aerodynamic configuration of an aircraft where the rotors can tilt, have just been completed in ONERA? s large wind tunnel S1MA in Modane. These tests, performed on a large scale model, are part of the European project NICETRIP, of which the purpose is to study the technological feasibility of a civilian convertible aircraft
