Design Comparison Between Helicopter and Tilt Rotor Aircraft.

Abstract

A version of the AMSAA helicopter design program has been modified to include a tilt rotor analysis. This modification includes addition of a rotor strip theory performance analysis in the rigid mode. A series of studies have recently been completed with this analysis and this note has been prepared as a record of the procedures used. A discussion of the analysis and some example problems are shown. These indicate the size trade offs that are required to obtain the high speed advantage of a typical tilt rotor compared to a helicopter. (Author)
