With the widespread use of the [[Aigios Raptor]] in [[Imperial Sea Legion|Navy]] service, the advantages and capability of tiltrotor aircraft became more and more apparent. It was determined that a land based version of a successful tiltrotor aircraft would be a viable replacement for older helicopters in service. The project was also invested in by various [[Peerages in the Hellenic Empire|lords]], who desired the aircraft for their own personal transports as well. NRW also sought the Belfrasian company [[Aigios Defence]], who developed the Raptor, and began to work with them on the TR19.

The Northern Rotor Works TR19 is a Tiltrotor aircraft developed in Orun Redisus as a successor to the widely utilized Clios Peregrine in service with the Royal Redisan Air Force and Royal Orun Army. It is capable of both VTOL and STOL landings and is the first in the Future Rotary Aircraft Procurement Directive of 2015. With the widespread use of the Aigios Raptor in Navy service, the advantages and capability of tiltrotor aircraft became more and more apparent. It was determined that a land based version of a successful tiltrotor aircraft would be a viable replacement for older helicopters in service.

The first TR19 prototype began testing in mid 2019 and was approved for introduction and production December of 2019.
