List Of Tiltrotor Aircraft
A Tiltrotor is a type of vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft that convert from vertical to horizontal flight by rotating propellers or ducted fans from horizontal positions like conventional aircraft propellers to vertical like a helicopter's rotors.

CTA Convertiplano
The Convertiplano is a cancelled Brazilian convertiplane project. It is based on the earlier Focke-Achgelis Fa 269. Henrich Focke revived the design in the early 1950s on behalf of Brazil's Centro Técnico Aeroespacial (CTA), at the time the air force's technical center, who had contracted him to develop a convertiplane. The Convertiplano was built using the fuselage and wings of a Supermarine Spitfire Mk.XIV, serial RM874, acquired by the Brazilian Air Attaché's office in Brazil. Britain refused to supply the Armstrong Siddeley Double Mamba engine originally selected and the design was altered to accept a mid-mounted Wright R-3350 Duplex-Cyclone The Wright R-3350 Duplex-Cyclone is an American twin-row, supercharged, air-cooled, radial aircraft engine with 18 cylinders displacing nearly . Power ranged from 2,200 to over 3,700 hp (1,640 to 2,760 kW), depending on the model. ... radial engine, as used in the Lockheed Constellation, instead. This required a redes ...

Transcendental Model 1-G
The Transcendental Model 1-G was an experimental American tiltrotor prototype of the 1950s. It was a single-seat aircraft powered by a single piston engine, and was the first tiltrotor to fly.Norton ''Air Enthusiast'' 2005, p. 49. A single example was built, which was destroyed in a crash in 1955. Design and development The Transcendental Aircraft Company was founded in January 1947 at New Castle, Delaware by Mario Guerrieri and Bob Lichten, two employees of Kellet Aircraft, to develop the Model 1-G, on which they had begun design work in 1945. Their design was a small cantilever monoplane powered by a single Lycoming O-290-A air-cooled flat-four engine positioned in the fuselage that drove two 3-blade rotors at the tips of the wings via a two-speed reduction gearbox. Two electric motors were used to tilt the rotors, with the rotors linked by a shaft running through the wing to ensure that both rotors would be tilted at the same angle. A steel tube forward fuselage carried ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Nord Aviation N 500 Cadet
The Nord Aviation N 500 Cadet was a single-seat VTOL research aircraft built by Nord Aviation in 1967. Design and development A model kit presenting the concept was first shown at the Paris Air Show at Le Bourget in 1965. The aircraft was driven by two ducted fans, with three blades per fan, mounted on short wings that were able to pivot between providing vertical and horizontal thrust. Two prototypes were constructed, one making its first (tethered) flight in July 1968 The year was highlighted by Protests of 1968, protests and other unrests that occurred worldwide.

Mil Mi-30
__NOTOC__ The Mil Mi-30 (also known as the Vintoplan) was a Russian tiltrotor STOL/VTOL concept that originated in 1972. The Mil Mi-30 Vintoplan would have been a transport aircraft for up to 19 passengers or two tons of cargo. Its purpose was to replace the Mi-8 and Mi-17 helicopters. History The first Tilt Rotor Aircraft companies were founded in the 1940s; the Vintoplan project was picked up and continued by these companies a few years after the first development. The Mil Design Bureau closely followed the tilt-rotor projects at Bell Helicopters, and the concept that Bell proposed seemed to them convincing. In 1972 Mil designers initiated a similar design, the Mi-30. At the beginning of the 1980s, scientists and helicopter designers assembled a design and several layouts for this complicated aircraft, the original design of the Mil Mi-30 Vintoplan was expected to use a TV3-117 Turbo Shaft Engine with a four-bladed propeller rotor on each wing; the original design of the Mil ...

IAI Panther
The Israel Aerospace Industries Panther is a tilt-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) produced by Israel Aircraft Industries in Israel. The Panther employs a tilt-rotor propulsion system patented by IAI and designed for tactical use, allowing runway-free takeoffs and landings on unprepared locations. It features three "ultra-quiet" electric motors, two of which are tilt-rotor and one providing additional lift for hovering, takeoff and landing. An automatic flight-control system controls the transition between the rotors' various positions. Weighing roughly the Panther has an operational radius of over and can loiter for approximately six hours at an altitude of . Its payload is IAI's Mini-POP electro-optical/infrared sensor, a stabilised camera with a laser rangefinder, pointer or laser designator. The Panther is controlled from a two-man control station, one to control the aircraft and oversee tactical missions, and the other to act as the station manager. The two use ident ...

Focke-Achgelis Fa 269
The Focke-Achgelis Fa 269 was a tiltrotor VTOL aircraft project designed by Henrich Focke. Development Conceived as a single-seat fighter, the Fa 269 project resulted from a design study order issued by the Reich Air Ministry to Focke-Achgelis in 1941. The order called for a local defence fighter which would combine the VTOL capabilities of a helicopter with the speed and economy of a conventional fixed-wing aircraft. A large amount of wind tunnel testing was undertaken, along with work on gearboxes, drives and power-pivoting mechanisms, and a full-scale mock-up of the aircraft was built to demonstrate the VTOL concept, but much of this was destroyed by Allied bombing raids and all work was shelved in 1944, when Focke-Achgelis estimated that there was little likelihood of a practical prototype being available before 1947. Design A mid-wing monoplane, the Fa 269 was to have been powered by a single BMW 801 air-cooled radial engine The radial engine is a reciprocating ty ...

Dufaux Triplane
The so-called Dufaux triplane was an unnamed experimental aircraft built in Switzerland in 1908. It was constructed by the brothers Armand and Henri Dufaux who had previously experimented with a model helicopter. This new aircraft incorporated a feature far ahead of its time; the concept of a tiltrotor. Based on what they had learned from their helicopter, the Dufaux brothers hoped to generate vertical as well as horizontal thrust from their engine installation, and conceived of an aircraft where the engine and propeller would be mounted at the centre of the airframe and would be able to pivot 180° to provide forward, upward, and even backward thrust (the latter to assist in braking). Experiments with a boxkite fitted with an engine in 1905 proved promising, so construction of a full-scale aircraft proceeded. The resulting machine featured two sets of triplane wings in tandem with the engine installation between them, followed by a biplane tail unit with a span almost equal to t ...

Dornier Do 29
The Dornier Do 29 was an experimental aircraft developed by Dornier Flugzeugwerke and the ''Deutsche Versuchsanstalt für Luftfahrt'' (German Aviation Laboratory) in the 1950s, used to test a tilting-propeller system for short takeoff and landing (STOL) aircraft. The concept was proved to be successful in flight testing; however, no further development of the system or aircraft was proceeded with, and at the conclusion of its test program the Do 29 was retired. Design and development During the Second World War, Heinrich Focke of Focke-Achgelis, a manufacturer of helicopters, developed a design for a short-takeoff-and-landing aircraft that would utilise a system of pusher propellers, one on each wing in a pusher configuration, to provide downward thrust and enhance lift.Goebel, Greg"Dornier Civil Aircraft". ''VectorSite'', April 2010. Accessed 2010-06-10. Designated Fa 269, the design was not developed due to the state of the war. In the 1950s, however, a renewed interest in S ...
