WHAT IS A TILT-ROTOR AIRCRAFT?
A tiltrotor aircraft combines the vertical lift capability of a helicopter with the speed of a turboprop
aeroplane.

Vertiplane has designed a Vertical Take-Off and Landing aircraft using proprietary methods as well
as the latest in CAD design software to design a simple and efficient VTOL aircraft that requires no
artificial stabilization. It can also auto-rotate and land at 0 forward speed, like a helicopter, in case of
engine failure.
Some of the most respected aircraft consultants in the business have also contributed their valuable
expertise to this effort.
Part of the aircraft design was done on X-Plane, a computer simulator program.
Check out a video recorded in X-Plane of the full scale version. These can be viewed using
QuickTime Player.

Our first priority is to design a working model. This will be used to define and fine tune the controls
during transition from hover to cruise flight and back again. The model will also define the interaction
of the wings and propellers so proper wing and propeller incidence can be obtained for cruise flight.
The model is 10th scale and is currently an aluminum test rig. Once stable hover flight has been
achieved, a fiberglass scale model will be built for the transition flights.
