Boeing Unveils Tiltrotor-based Collaborative Rotorcraft
Boeing introduced its new Collaborative Transformational Rotorcraft, a modular tiltrotor drone designed to team with Army helicopters.
The new concept, dubbed the Collaborative Transformational Rotorcraft (CxR), was presented during the Association of the U.S. Army (AUSA) 2025 Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C.
According to Aviation Week, the 5,000–7,000 lb CxR concept features a single turboshaft engine driving two tilting prop-rotors, capable of reaching speeds between 200 and 250 knots.
“It’ll be a tiltrotor with two proprotors and a gas turbine engine,” said Chris Speights, chief engineer of Boeing’s Vertical Lift division. “We believe that that’s going to provide the most mature, rapid ability to field.
This configuration makes it the largest unmanned aerial system proposed for the Army since the MQ-1C Gray Eagle.
