Civil tiltrotor transport point design: Model 940A

The objective of this effort is to produce a vehicle layout for the civil tiltrotor wing and center fuselage in sufficient detail to obtain aerodynamic and inertia loads for determining member sizing. This report addresses the parametric configuration and loads definition for a 40 passenger civil tilt rotor transport. A preliminary (point) design is developed for the tiltrotor wing box and center fuselage. This summary report provides all design details used in the pre-design; provides adequate detail to allow a preliminary design finite element model to be developed; and contains guidelines for dynamic constraints.
