AFC Enabled Hybrid Tilt Propeller / Tilt Wing Long Range and High Speed VTOL Aircraft
The technology involves the design of a hybrid tilt propeller / tilt wing aircraft augmented with Active Flow Control (AFC). This proposed design enhances the aircraft's cruise efficiency and reduces high-power consumption during takeoff, without compromising on hover, vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL), and super-short takeoff and landing (SSTOL)...
