A tilt rotor aircraft consists of one or two rotors that are mounted on the aircraft. The location of rotors is distinct and depends on the purpose of manufacturing. In general they are mounted on the top of the engine nacelle, fuselage and at the wingtips of an airplane. Tilt wing aircraft is the amalgamation of the conventional aircraft design and the helicopter design. This aircraft consist of fixed wing along with the rotors and this design helps in vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) of an aircraft. It has three modes, 1. Lifter, 2. Transition, and 3. Thruster. Lifting is carried out by the rotors on the aircraft where the helicopter vertical take-off principle is used. Transition is the phase of airplane where the mode of flying is converted is converted from helicopter to aircraft for forward movement. Thrusting is carried out by the propulsion unit for forward cruising of the flight. This design reduces the take-off distance and time. Runways can be eliminated and many aircrafts can land at that same instant in airport. This type of aircrafts can also possess the ability to hover. The comparative study of this design with the conventional designs is illustrated in this paper. The major advantages and drawbacks is also discussed below.
