STUDY ON CONTROL PERFORMANCE OF A NEW TYPE OF TILT-ROTOR AIRCRAFT
K. Miyabe¹, M. Bando¹, S. Hokamoto¹; ¹Kyushu Univercity, Japan
We propose a new type of tilt-rotor aircraft, whose rotors are tilted by arm-mechanisms. The aircraft can enhance the stability during the transitional mode and independent control for its three attitude motions is possible only by rotor thrusts without control surfaces.
