Pitch control optimisation of tiltrotor aircraft
An investigation into the effects of rotary-wing and xed-wing control gearings for tiltrotor aircraft was undertaken. The work investigated the effects of different cyclic and elevator gearings (both prescribed and optimised) on the longitudinal trim behaviour through the conversion regime of ight. The numerical simulations were performed for the XV-15

Whirl and Stall Flutter Simulation Using CFD [PDF]
This paper presents recent research on numerical methods for whirl and stall flutter using computational fluid dynamics. The method involves coupling of the HMB3 CFD solver of the University of Glasgow and a NASTRAN derived structural model. Based upon

Adaptive Surrogate-Based Optimization of Vortex Generators for a Tiltrotor Geometry [PDF]
Design of vortex generators (VGs) on a tiltrotor aircraft infinite wing is presented using an adaptive surrogate modelling approach. Particular design issues in tiltrotors produce wings that are thick and highly loaded, so separation and early onset ...

Three-Dimensional Flight Envelope for V/STOL Aircraft with Multiple Flight Modes
Vertical or short take-off and landing (V/STOL) aircraft generally have three flight modes, namely, vertical take-off and landing (VTOL), conversion, and cruise, according to the variable angle of propulsion direction to the fuselage axis.

A numerical study on active control for tiltrotor whirl flutter stability augmentation [PDF]
The use of active control to augment whirl flutter stability of tiltrotor aircraft is studied by means of a multibody simulation. The numerical model is based on a 1/5 scale semi-span aeroelastic wind tunnel model of a generic tiltrotor concept and ...
