Design of a drivetrain - blue

Design of a drivetrain with compound split for a helicopter with main and tail rotor configuration

New rotorcraft concepts – improvement of traditional gearboxes – safety of drivetrains

  • innovation for speed-variable drivetrains that allow for dynamically adapting the rotor speed in flight
  • thereby increasing operational flexibility and flight safety while reducing fuel consumption and noise emissions at the same time
  • Drivetrains and gearboxes of highest reliability
  • unique know-how in the field of development, testing and certification of transmissions for aviation
  • including tribology and lubrication – as far as loss of lubrication
  • compliant with regulations and standards of the European Aviation Safety Agency, EASA and the Federal Aviation Administration, FAA
  • scientific expertise – independent of manufacturer, supplier and operator interests
  • over twenty years of experience with transmissions for aviation
  • professorship “Aircraft Design” is currently being established and will offer the master’s program “Aviation” at TU Wien

Innovation level:

  • unique know-how in the field of development, testing and certification of transmissions for aviation
  • unique concept of drivetrain for variable rotor speed for fast rotorcrafts - in co-operation with Zoerkler Gears
  • first public presentation at a trade show – world novelty
