For the past 20 years, a significant effort has been made to understand and predict the structural aeroelastic stability characteristics of the tilt rotor concept. Beginning with the rotor-pylon oscillation of the XV-3 aircraft, and the problem was identified and then subjected to a series of theoretical studies, plus model and full-scale wind tunnel tests. From this data base, methods were developed to predict the structural aeroelastic stability characteristics of the XV-15 Tilt Rotor Research Aircraft. This paper examines the predicted aeroelastic characteristics in light of the major parameters effecting rotor-pylon-wing stability; describes flight test techniques used to obtain XV-15 aeroelastic stability; presents a summary of flight test results; compares the flight test results to the predicted values; and presents a limited comparison of wind tunnel results, flight test results, and their correlation with predicted values.
