Bell/Agusta BA609 civil twin-engined tiltrotor VTOL aircraft at Farnborough International Airshow 2008, England, UK.


The BA609 Tiltrotor combines the speed, altitude, and comfort of a turboprop with the vertical takeoff and landing capabilities of a helicopter. Having cruising capabilities of 25,000 ft. With seating up to nine passengers and at twice the speed of typical helicopters of comparable capacity, the BA609 is designed to be the best multi-mission aircraft for the task.
