A tiltwing aircraft features a wing that is horizontal for conventional forward flight and rotates up for vertical takeoff and landing. It is similar to the tiltrotor design where only the propeller and …

The Ling-Temco-Vought (LTV) XC-142 is a tiltwing experimental aircraft designed to investigate the operational suitability of vertical/short takeoff and landing (V/STOL) transports.

Nov 14, 2019 · In this work, we use simplified models for the aerodynamics, propulsion, propeller–wing flow interaction, and flight mechanics to carry out gradient-based optimization …

A tiltwing is compelling as an aircraft type for UAM due to its potential to increase cruise speed and efficiency while reducing noise in cruise, as compared to the four prior six-passenger …

It collects, organizes, provides for archiving, and disseminates NASA’s STI. The NASA STI program provides access to the NTRS Registered and its public interface, the NASA Technical …

Feb 28, 2024 · Tiltrotor or tilt-propeller designs are common in the electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) air taxi space. They involve the repositioning of those components during the …

Tiltwings are a versatile class of aircraft that combine the vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) capabilities of conventional helicopters and the long-range, high-speed forward flight of fixed …

Jan 3, 2025 · Tiltrotor/tiltwing aircraft is a promising Urban Air Mobility (UAM) due to its vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) capability.A universal control structure is proposed for all flight …

The NASA Tiltwing is a six passenger eVTOL concept design aircraft that can accept all-batteries as a power source or use a hybrid-electric power source. NASA calls this concept design …

* Following World War 2, there was considerable interest in vertical take-off aircraft, with one branch of research in the field focusing on machines with tilting rotors, props, or ducted fans; …
