Hi All,This response originally espoused building these "tiltplanes" in large sizes to carry large numbers of people, but I see now that this design approach does not lend itself to doing that.The above stated Jan. 13 may turn out to be true but there is, nevertheless, still a possibility that the usefulness can be extended to sizes that large. Studies are needed. The motivation for studying this further is the attractiveness of a VTOL aircraft that can carry a small busload of people with good fuel efficiency over distances or 20 to 100 miles.jlawren3
