Tests of first experimental VTOL aircraft using tiltable wings and propellers indicated that practical operational aircraft are possible operating with high efficiencies; study of various VTOL aircraft configurations operating at low radius of action indicates that tilt wing/tilt propeller type are most cost-effective as long as speed is important parameter in operating mission; there are missions where speed is of secondary importance, and therefore, helicopter will continue to be one of most effective VTOL for these missions.
