Federal Aviation Administration research supporting the Civil Tiltrotor Development Advisory Committee

摘要

The Civil Tiltrotor Development Advisory Committee (CTRDAC) has been established by Congress to assess the technical feasibility and economic viability of this nation developing civil tiltrotor technology. CTRDAC planned analysis and organization structure are described along with current research being conducted by the Federal Aviation Administration to support the CTRDAC. Four analyses are described: 1. civil tiltrotor feasibility, 2. civil tiltrotor impact on enroute air traffic control sectors, 3. civil tiltrotor impact on terminal airspace, and 4. potential delay reduction at major airports through use of civil tiltrotor.
