It is capable of landing vertically like a helicopter while having a range and speed in excess of conventional rotorcraft.
The resulting AgustaWestland AW609 is the first civilian tiltrotor. [2] [3] In 2000, AgustaWestland began studies for the Next-Generation Civil Tiltrotor (NGCTR), twice the size of the AW609.

A type certificate (TC) is issued to signify the airworthiness of the approved design or "type" of an aircraft to be manufactured. The TC is issued by a regulatory authority, and once issued, the design cannot be changed unless at least part of the process for certification is repeated to cover the changes.

[5] In the US, the type was marketed under the designation US139, and was entered into the US Army's Light Utility Helicopter competition. [10]
Certification schemes, such as the CASS Scheme (Conformity Assessment of Safety-related Systems) are used to establish whether a device meets a particular SIL. [4] Third parties that can provide certification include Bureau Veritas, CSA Group, TÜV Rheinland, TÜV SÜD and UL among others. Self-certification is also possible.
