»Leonardo

SW-4 Solo optionally piloted helicopter
ξ completed its maiden flight with no safety pilot onboard at Taranto-Grottaglie Airport (Southern Italy)
ξ flew for 45 minutes
ξ remote engine start up and shut down with ground run,
ξ automatic take-off and landing,
ξ hovering OGE (Out of Ground Effect) and
ξ acceleration to forward flight,
ξ automatic way point navigation to and from the area of operation and
ξ simulation of a surveillance mission
ξ reached an altitude of 1500 ft and
ξ up to 60 knots airspeed

ξ Solo RUAS/OPH – Rotary Unmanned Air System/Optionally Piloted Helicopter,
ξ derived from the SW-4helicopter produced by Leonardo in Poland and
ξ equipped with advanced systems and sensors also made by the company in Italy and the UK,
ξ is designed to operate with or without a pilot on board

ξ Test campaigns have been held in Grottaglie with a pilot onboard since December 2016,
ξ combined with various trials in Poland,
ξ in order to verify the aircraft’s operational characteristics and validate flight procedures,
ξ in both normal and emergency conditions.

ξ Earlier activities in Italy were part of a collaboration started in 2015 between Leonardo,
ξ Aeroporti di Puglia (AdP) and the Distretto Tecnologico Aerospaziale Pugliese (DTA)
ξ for the “Grottaglie Test Bed”,
ξ which is a candidate to become the Italian solution for national and European industry demands for unmanned aircraft testing
ξ The validation of procedures and regulations for the use of unmanned aircraft are among its key objectives.
ξ The trials benefitted from the strong collaboration with ENAC (the Italian Civil Aviation Authority) and
ξ ENAV (the Italian Air Navigation Service Provider).
ξ The SW-4 Solo had also been involved in other successful demonstrations in Italy and the UK.
