The six year development program of the U.S. Army VZ-2 research aircraft, Vertol Division gained extensive experience in the VTOL field. The following conclusions are based upon this exper ience: The technical feasibility of the tilt wing concept has been proven, and a sound basis has been established for the development, design, and construction of a tilt wing aircraft for specific missions. Although new problems were exposed, methods of solving them were indicated. The concentration of hovering controls exclu sively within the propeller-wing assembly, by using full span ailerons for yaw control, differ ential collective pitch for roll control, and monocyclic pitch for pitch control, will elim inate the need for yaw and pitch fans in future models. A more complete comparison and correla tion of test results (NASA flight test, Contrac tor flight test, NASA wind tunnel and Priceton University Long Track data) will provide com prehensive technical data for future designs.
