Effective mission capability of future V/STOL aircraft demands significant propulsion system advancements in lower specific weight, higher specific performance, improved operational reliability, and improved structural integrity.A five year development program conducted by the propeller industry has resulted in several major design innovations: lightweight blades, integrated propeller and gearbox, variable camber, shrouded propellers, and redundant control systems, of which all are flight qualified and used in two major VTOL aircraft programs, XC-142 and X-22A. This paper reviews these developments, defines their performance, weight, and functional potentials, and describes their current hardware status.
