Since the advent of flight, the technology involved in the design of aircrafts has changed radically. But the principle of flight remains the same. Aircrafts today are very efficient and reliable. But they are faced with the challenge of landing on short runways. Helicopters can achieve vertical landing in almost any area, but are constrained to a large extent by their speed and range.
To take an intermediate approach, the tilt rotor crafts are designed. This project is an attempt to solve the existing problems and constraints faced by the present tilt rotor crafts. It also aims to expand its capabilities by enabling it to land on both water and land. Today, the tilt rotor crafts are the most efficient and economically viable method of obtaining vertical takeoff and landing.
These aircrafts are of extreme use in areas of rescue operations. They are also helpful in reaching remote areas where conventional aircrafts cannot land. But these rotorcrafts are limited in their capabilities as they cannot land in water. Many rotorcrafts are constrained to low cruise speeds and are short range.
Keeping all the above factors in mind, this project is being designed to deliver the best performance.
