The Army has announced the future of air assault: the MV-75, designed to sweep into battle at more than 320 mph, skimming treetops before seeming to stop in midair as its rotors pivot to a ...

Actuators tilt the rotor blades — changing the angle of attack of the blades and thus increasing or decreasing the amount of lift the blades generate — both collectively (all of the blades ...

Delivering the final AH-1Z attack helicopter for the U.S. military capped a seven-decade run for Bell of producing of H-1s that began in 1959 and included the Vietnam icon that was the UH-1 ...

Since we already paid so dearly for such a large tilt-rotor force, we may as well get the very most out of it, and just one part of this is giving the existing MV-22 and CV-22 force armed escorts ...

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… ...

ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. -- Army aerospace engineers visited an aircraft manufactuer in Texas, to explore potential areas of collaboration on tilt rotor technology between industry and the Army.

Ideally, tilt-rotor aircraft marry the maneuverability of a helicopter — which needs far less space to take off and land than any fixed-wing aircraft — with the speed and range of a plane.

But Bell's vice president of advanced tiltrotor systems, Vince Tobin, told reporters at the show Tuesday that the company had already begun designing a V-280 variant that would fit aboard ships ...

This patented coaxial rotor, twin-ducted fan design concept forms the basis of the current JMR proposal. The JMR-TD FVL program aims to provide flying technology demonstrations by 2017.
