Notional VTOL/VSTOL projects from NACA and NASA

Dronte · 30 March 2006

The fighter version of the M-85, a project of the NASA for the development of the wings O, an evolution of the concept of wings X that looked for on everything to eliminate the problematic vibrations to the moment to stop in flight the rotation of the same ones.

Hi,

Unknown USA VTOL airliner project,with tilt wing.

Ok dear overscan,

But no useful info in the page;

Hi,

the NASA CTR 4/95 is tilt rotor aircarft,it is developed as
a civil transport regional airliner and has a 40-passenger
capacity.

Jemiba · 14 January 2008

Principally similar to the Agusta A.119 tilt prop I think.

From memory there was some drawings of Fairchild VSTOL proposals in Aeroplane circa 1960 something that were similar in layout? This is from one reading many years ago if anyone knows the details I would be pleased for extra details to jog my memory.

Hi,

NASA tilt-wing four engined aircraft project,it look like
the LTV XC-142 aircraft.

Looks like the Grumman VTOL version of the Mohawk.

"Looks like the Grumman VTOL version of the Mohawk.

Or maybe like this North American proposal ? ???

Don't think so. The Grumman tilt-wing is illustrated in a few sources (which I don't have with me). The North American design differs in a number of important areas, from wing planform to vertical stabilizer geometry.

EDIT: found pics.

I miss a F-16 with delta wing and an augmentor to provide vertical power.

Apophenia · 24 November 2008

Each time I see that NASA tilt-wing airliner, I'm struck by the resemblance of its fuselage and empennage to those of the Avro Canada Jetliner.

Was NASA recycling wind tunnel models (one of which survives at TAM) to work on more generic concepts? Or, is it possible that Avro Canada was exploring tilt-wings?

Orionblamblam · 24 November 2008

Apophenia said:

Very likely. Most wind tunnel models are generic shapes; if your goal is basic science regarding some new wing planform or lift engine setup that will *maybe* be applied to an otherwise conventional but as-yet undefined fuselage... you might as well use the parts and pieces that are already lying around.

Apophenia · 24 November 2008

Thanks for the confirmation. It makes sense to recycle when, as you say, they were working on general layouts.

Attached are two (really bad) images of what I think is the same model modified again. The first shows the horizontal tail moved down (with some flap details visible). The second shows the wing moved to a high position and the horizontal tail returned to the mid position.

Hi,

from NASA;there are two tiltrotor projects,notice the second
had forward swept canard.
