Abstract

Abstract : The report presents the results of wind tunnel test BVWT 067, the Phase II test of a two phase test program, performed in the Boeing-Vertol V/ STOL wind tunnel on a powered four prop tilt wing full span model equipped with cyclic pitch propellers for longitudinal control. Items evaluated through transitional flight, include cyclic pitch effectiveness, descent performance with cyclic pitch inputs, the effect of cyclic on longitudinal and lateral/ directional stability plus the influence of cyclic action on the effectiveness of the aircraft surface controls (stabilizer for longitudinal trim and differentially deflected flaps/spoiler for roll/yaw control). An in-ground effect investigation with a moving ground plane was also conducted to establish the influence of the ground on cyclic pitch effectiveness and on stability characteristics with cyclic pitch inputs.
