Tiltrotor Design and Configuration
A Video showing the creation of a 3d model of a tiltrotor. And a brief overview of the history of tiltrotors starting with the Baynes and Platt-LePage concepts in the 1930's. First flight on the Trancendental 1-G and the XV-3 in the 1950s. And the first production tiltrotors in the 1990's. I will continue to add to this project in the future. My next step is to import this CAD model into Blender to create a higher quality animation of the mechanical components.
