Unlike tilt-rotor or tilt-propeller aircraft, a tilt-wing tilts the whole wing instead of just the propeller nacelles. While this may seem a small detail, it is actually a fundamental difference. Tilt ...

Sikorsky is developing a hybrid-electric vertical takeoff and landing (HEX/VTOL) tilt-wing demonstrator. It's part of a new family of aircraft that'll run the company's new MATRIX autonomy suite ...

Transcend Air plans to launch production of its high speed VTOL hybrid-electric tilt-rotor transport in 2025. On the way there it’s stopping at New England Dragway to refine its aerodynamics and ...

Sikorsky, the longtime manufacturer of rotorcraft such as the UH-60 Blackhawk and S-92 helicopter, is exploring a new family of vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft.

While the initial plan called for a four-engine aircraft, the X-18 was designed to have only two, most likely because it was a test platform for tilt-wing VTOL technology and not a production vehicle.

And not just any kind of VTOL, but one powered by a hybrid-electric drivetrain, in a tilt-wing configuration (something Sikorsky is becoming an expert at) and featuring a high degree of autonomy.

Bell will design and build a high-speed VTOL demonstrator for DARPA’s SPRINT program, as Aurora exits the competition.

There are a variety of possible motor configurations to choose from when building a fixed-wing VTOL drone, but few take the twin-motor tilt-rotor approach used by the V-22 Osprey. However, it remai… ...

The tilt wing Vought XC-142A would win this contest, ... there were several studies into creating the first mass-produced vtol aircraft. A plane that could operate like a jet, ...
