Need for short haul commercial air transport capable of vertical takeoff and landing and having high cruising speed led to development of turboprop tilt-wing VTOL aircraft; reasons for selecting tilt-wing type; comparative study of direct operating cost of comparable helicopter and fixed wing aircraft with VTOL; comparison of block time and block speed; operational aspects; advantages and disadvantages for both commercial and military operations.
