Design considerations for short haul aircraft that will take off vertically yet fly with forward speeds considerably greater than those now possible with helicopters; fuselage must remain horizontal while on ground and in all flight regimes, from hovering or low speed flight to maximum speed; controllability, stability and general safety requirements cannot be compromised; table shows short haul transport comparative study for tilt wing propeller and tandem helicopter.
