This paper presents an integrated methodology for sizing a tilt-wing aircraft with all-electric, hybrid-electric, and turbo-electric propulsion system architectures which is capable of both vertical and conventional takeoff and landing. The workflow includes explicit evaluation of both stability and controllability constraints to ensure acceptable dynamic stability and adequate control authority.
