Bell V-22 Osprey
The V-22 Osprey is a multi-purpose tiltrotor which is capable of VTOL and high speed horizontal flight. It was the first production tiltrotor aircraft, and was produced by Bell for the US military. The V-22 also has a cargo bay, allowing it to carry troops and equipment to places that lack proper runways. Two large rotors provide the lift for VTOL capabilities and rotate 90 for horizontal flight. The V-22 is currently still in service, and is operated only by the US and Japan.
Builder’s Notes: This aircraft is my second attempt at a logic stabilized vehicle. A PID system used anglometers on hinges as it’s input. The logic then controls the swashplate in the main rotors in order to stabilize the aircraft in pitch and roll. Because this system uses the actual flight controls, a separate logic system has to be set up to turn off the stabilizer while a control input is pressed, allowing the aircraft to maneuver freely. The swashplate is also designed to shut off at speeds above 200kmh, handing controls over to the control surfaces. The swashplate and the control surfaces are the only steering devices on this aircraft. I was able to get rid of the hidden flying blocks I used in the Hummingbird.
Flight Advice: In order to keep the aircraft balanced while transitioning between horizontal and vertical flight, use the collective pitch prop to increase or decrease lift in the nose. Increasing the collective pitch in transition flight will cause the aircraft to pitch up. Decreasing the collective pitch will cause it to pitch down. Use this effect to balance the aircraft in transition flight.
