![]() The “Helicopter ADaptive Aircraft” (HADA) is a project under development since 2007 by a consortium of 26 Spanish companies, universities and research institutions, led by the National Institute for Aerospace Technology (INTA). In the last 60 years there have been many attempts to design a reconfigurable vehicle that could join the VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) and hovering capabilities of helicopters and the cruise speed and efficiency of airplanes, as the tilt-rotor concept, the compound helicopter or the XV1 convertiplane. The aircraft with morphing capability provides the advantage of being able to fly multiple missions, which is not possible by those based on the conventional aircraft designs. ![]() Reconfigurable or morphing aircraft are flight vehicles that change their shape to effect both a change in their mission and to perform flight control without the use of conventional control surfaces.
