The author's involvement with tiltrotor flight dynamics stems from close engagement with three European Union ‘Framework’ research and development programmes: Rotorcraft Handling, Aerodynamic Interactions and Loads Prediction (RHILP), Active Control Technology for TILT rotors (ACT‐TILT), and Novel, Innovative, Competitive, Effective, Tilt Rotor Integrated Project (NICETRIP). This chapter includes the benefits of formulating the tiltrotor as a multi‐body‐dynamic (MBD) system and addresses building of MBD simulation, trim/linearization, and response analysis. The tiltrotors could fit into the fixed‐wing operating rules relatively easily but new developments were required to take full advantage of the tiltrotor's operational flexibility that could introduce new flying qualities requirements. Flying qualities and load alleviation could be addressed together, through feedback of proprotor flapping to elevator. The use of elevator to reduce steady‐state, trim, flapping also served to reduce the transient flapping in manoeuvres.
