Civilian tiltrotor from AVIC

Future High Speed Helicopter and next generation rotorcraft

For the first time since some time some real news in this topic! No, it's not. It's merely a model to showcase industrial design (aesthetic) capabilities.

It seems to be a testbed based of a highly modified Z-20 airframe, notice how the cockpit windshield arrangement is exactly the same but has an elongated nose and a vastly different fuselage and tail.

That's just called having a cockpit windshield arrangement which is similar.

The fuselage/airframe itself overall should be quite different -- everything from landing gear, to size and bulkheads.

Yeah, I noticed the differences. For some reason when I first saw this I instantly thought of the Z-20... You are probs right about this being a overall new airframe

Procurement tender from CAE for a civilian quad tiltrotor demonstrator from last year. Might be something similar to the Blue Whale transport tiltrotor seen before.

There is a sperate thread for Next Gen rotorcraft.

Future High Speed Helicopter and next generation rotorcraft

By the time this thing get developped, it will be already outdated and replaced with heavy drones...
