Dynavert Flight Systems

Dynavert Flight Systems is an aerospace and aircraft manufacturing corporation located in Albion. A subsidiary of CGA-Albanair, it specializes in the design and manufacture of tiltwing aircraft and other rotorcraft for the civil and military markets. The company is considered the world leader in tiltwing and tiltrotor aviation.

Dynavert takes its name from the pioneering CGA-Albanair AV-131 Dynavert of the 1960s and 70s.

History
Dynavert emerged from the eponymous AL-84/AV-131 Dynavert project of the 1960s and 70s. The project established Albion as the world leader in tiltwing technology, a field of flight engineering larger countries' engineering sectors have been unable to master even into the 2020s.

The Dynavert's design took place as part of an experimental CGA-Albanair project from 1957 onward, testing the viability of an aircraft with variable-angle wings. The wing, engines and tailplane of the prototype aircraft were able to tilt up to 100 degrees from a normal flight angle, enabling a transition from STOL to VTOL profile. CGA-Albanair designers worked intently on the project alongside engineers who had fled the Baltic states during the Second World War, ultimately leading to the development of a working prototype that flew in 1965.

Tiltwing technology received new focus during the Guyana War, when Commonwealth forces operating in Essequibo were exposed to the difficulties of fighting a guerrilla war in the jungle with inadequate air cover. The same processes which led to the development of the CGA-Albanair AA-152 Shearwater saw the Dynavert prototype receive new focus, particularly for its versatility as both a stable gun platform and a vehicle capable of delivering cargoes between shore installations and any naval ship in service. The Dynavert began to enter Alban service in the 1970s in a wide range of roles, leading to interest from other national militaries and some civil operators.

The interest in the tiltwing technology saw CGA-Albanair spin this operation into a dedicated variable incidence wing development firm, entitled Dynavert, after the successful AV-131. This new subsidiary would focus primarily on developing the tiltwing and tiltrotor technologies for both military and civilian markets.

Following the success of the AV-131, the Dynavert team's most notable successes were the Vertivan and Verticruiser designs, both initially civilian-applicable, but with the former adopted by some militaries.
