NASA is conducting investigations in Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) aircraft and operations.
AAM missions are characterised by ranges below 300 nm, including rural and urban …

This paper compares and contrasts the application of two conceptual methods for the design
and analysis of eVTOL aircraft. The starting point is a widely publicized reference design, the …

An attempt is made to implement a faster level-flight to hover mode transition in tiltrotor's
landing process for the purpose of shortening its landing time. A three-stage tiltrotor landing …

A toolchain and process for conceptual design of VTOL rotorcraft, employing low-and mid-
fidelity tools is presented. The approach is capable of providing more quantitatively-credible …

This paper serves as an introduction to a collaborative effort between the US Army US Army
Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) Aviation and Missile Center …

The 6-passenger quadrotor concept vehicle designed under the NASA Revolutionary
Vertical Lift Technology (RVLT) Project is considered for acoustic analysis. The tip speed is …

The thesis assesses the environmental impact of electric vertical take-off and landing
(eVTOL) aircraft. It develops a methodology for the integrated conceptual design and life …

As part of an envisioned autonomous swarm exploration mission in Valles Marineris on
Mars a design investigation of a high-range scout UAV is performed in this work. Two VTOL …

The NASA Revolutionary Vertical Lift Technology (RVLT) Project toolchain is used to predict
the acoustics of the NASA 6-passenger quadrotor concept vehicle. A qualitative study of the …

Retractable wheeled landing gears (RWLG) are standard equipment on most large
helicopters above 6 tons. They offer better aerodynamics in cruise, improved passenger …
