F. Toffol¹, F. Fonte, Leonardo Helicopters, Italy; S. Ricci¹; ¹Politecnico di Milano, Italy
The work illustrates the design and test process that led to the manufacturing of an innovative wing tip device in the framework of AIRGREEN2, a Clean Sky 2 platform.rnThe design involved several disciplines (structure, aerodynamics, actuation). Intermediate wind tunnel models and ground demonstrator provided experimental evidence of the utility of the concept. The item will be flight tested in '23
