    Tilt-proprotor perspective (1977)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-17
    Description: The general tilt-proprotor concept is discussed, and a more detailed look at the XV-15 aircraft is taken. The special features of the two-engine system, engine control system, and flight control system are mentioned. The main objectives of the XV-15 program are to (1) verify rotor/pylon/wing/dynamic stability and aircraft performance over a representative operational envelope, (2) assess the handling qualities and establish a safe operating envelope, and (3) investigate gust sensitivity, effects of downwash, and hover operation. With regard to rotor/pylon stability, one challenge is to be able to predict a parameter's value and then build hardware to match. The analytical program has gained some respect through aeroelastic and full-scale XV-3 demonstrations. Special concern centers around the thrust and power management system when flying at high speed when very small changes in rotor collective pitch represent large changes in thrust and power. Demonstration of the system awaits wind-tunnel and flight testing.

    Evaluation of the tilt rotor concept: The XV-15's role (1978)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-10-02
    Description: The need for an aircraft combining the efficient vertical takeoff and landing capability of a helicopter with the efficient high speed characteristics of a fixed wing turboprop is examined. The ability of the tilt rotor concept to fill this requirement and examples as to its potential usefulness in both military and civil missions is discussed.

    XV-15 tilt rotor test - Progress report (1977)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: In a continuing effort to expand the versatility of their aircraft, VTOL designers have for many years tried to combine the desirable features of various concepts into a single aircraft. This is a formidable task and most efforts have met with limited success. This paper explores the need for an aircraft combining the efficient VTOL capability of a helicopter with the efficient high speed characteristics of a fixed wing turboprop. The ability of the tilt rotor concept to fill this requirement and examples as to its potential usefulness in both military and civil missions is discussed. The history of the concept and the status of the current Army/NASA/Bell XV-15 program and its role in proving the viability of the concept are reviewed.

    Analyses and tests confirm design of proprotor aircraft. (1972)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: Discussion of the design features of a 300-knot tilt-proprotor VTOL aircraft having proprotors 25 ft in diameter, an empty weight of 7390 pounds, a maximum VTOL gross weight of 12,400 pounds, and a design dive speed of 300 knots. Proprotor stability analysis covering aeroelastic stability characteristics and flight mode stability characteristics is included. An evaluation of the proprotor design is made on the basis of aerodynamic and aeroelastic model tests and full-scale performance tests. The test results and other obtained research data suggest the readiness of this aircraft design for construction and flight tests.

    Status report on XV-15 Tilt Rotor Test Program (1977)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: The XV-15 Tilt Rotor Research Aircraft Program has progressed from the design and fabrication stage to the test phase and is now beginning that portion of the program which will culminate in the determination of the viability of this promising concept. This paper will review the joint Army/NASA/Bell Helicopter Textron (BHT) XV-15 program as it currently stands, including the results of the experience gained during the design and fabrication phases and testing to date. Highlights of the overall Tilt Rotor Program will be discussed exploring the potential of this concept to result in a new generation of highly productive VTOL systems.
