Tiltwing

Tiltwing

A tiltwing aircraft is similar in concept to a tiltrotor design. Whereas a tilt rotor rotates the propeller from axial to dorsal, a tiltwing rotates the entire wing, not just the nacelles or prop and shaft. They are typically fully capable of VTOL operations.

An advantageFact|date=October 2007 of tilt wing over tilt rotor is that when the rotors tilt up, the wings rotate so that they do not block the downward air.

The Canadair CL-84 Dynavert was a successful tiltwing design that never went into production.
