This key aim of the current paper is to derive exact analytical expression for the maximum speed of an electric powered tilt-rotor aircraft. To achieve it, properly sized aircraft with determined maximum power and torque is considered. Two operational methods are proposed, and the feasibility of applying simplified formulas is evaluated. Subsequently, a formula is derived to calculate the maximum flight speed while adhering to constraints on both maximum power and maximum torque.
