The document provides a brief description of tiltrotor aircraft and identifies some of their projected operating characteristics. Two operations are of particular interest: steep approaches into a confined metropolitan vertiport, and approaches into a vertiport without sufficient clear airspace for a conventional missed approach from a low DH. Both operations are of interest in order to minimize the airspace needed to conduct such operations. A brief simulation was conducted to support the analysis using a fixed base simulator. The flight simulation involved a quick look at innovative and tiltrotor unique maneuvers to identify and evaluate operations at or near the operational limits. The tiltrotor shows promise of permitting much steeper approach and departure maneuvers than what can be done with either an airplane or a helicopter.
