BOEING V22 OSPREY

The Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey is an American multi-mission, tiltrotor military aircraft with both vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL), and short takeoff and landing (STOL) capabilities. It is designed to combine the functionality of a conventional helicopter with the long-range, high-speed cruise performance of a turboprop aircraft.

VTOL PLANE (VERTICAL TAKEOFF AND LANDING PLANE)

Vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft include fixed-wing aircraft that can hover, take off and land vertically, as well as helicopters and other aircraft with powered rotors, such as tiltrotors. My intention is to replicate the design and build a bicopter VTOL with two number of propellers at the sides. The angle of the rotor will be controlled by a tilting mechanism. The tilting mechanism will be having a servo motor and BLDC motor combined by a 3D printed structure.

Advantages : Requires only small area for take off and landing. Could land at our point of interest. Longer flight times

Disadvantages : Complex design

Requirements for the project

  • Design of Structure -Foam sheet, 3D printed internal airfoil structure,internal aluminium reinforcement
  • Tilting mechanism with servo motor and BLDC motor assembly
  • Flight control board,electronic speed controller for BLDC motor
  • BLDC motor,servo motor, Propellers
