To gain experimental data on the controllability of tilt-rotor airships operating near neutral buoyancy, a 32-foot long 1/10 scale flying model is being developed using two contrarotating tilt-rotor representing those on the NASA/Bell XV-15 research aircraft. It is planned to demonstrate controlled hover and transition in an engine - out condition with one rotor stopped to emphasize the natural attitude stability and damping of such vehicles. (Author)
