Abstract

This paper presents a numerical simulation of a tiltrotor aircraft developed in the United States, examining the aerodynamic interference between the rotors, wings, and fuselage in three flight conditions: forward flight, transition mode, and hover. The study investigates the distribution of the velocity field, pressure field, vorticity field, and streamlines around the aircraft at different rotor tilt angles.
