Abstract: Described herein is an aircraft that includes a fuselage with a higher portion and a lower portion. The aircraft also includes two fixed wings that are coupled to and extend from opposing sides of the lower portion of the fuselage. Additionally, the aircraft includes a tilt-rotor assembly that is coupled to each of the two fixed wings.

Abstract: An aircraft comprises at least one wing comprising a trailing edge flap that is selectively moveable between a stowed position and an extended position. The aircraft also includes a fuselage comprising a first gear door on a side of the fuselage and a second gear door on a bottom of the fuselage. The first gear door is moveable in a gear door envelope between a closed position and an open position. The wing is coupled to the fuselage in a low-wing configuration. A landing gear assembly is coupled to the fuselage and is selectively moveable between a retracted position and a deployed position. The trailing edge flap may be extended simultaneously with, before, or after deployment of the landing gear assembly and opening of the first gear door.

Abstract: Aircraft having cab portions with integrated windshields are disclosed. The cab portion can include a rounded nose and a windshield positioned above and aft of a forward extremity of the rounded nose. A contour of the cab portion extending from the nose over the windshield aft of the nose can have a generally continuously smooth, unkinked shape. In particular embodiments, the portion of the contour corresponding to the windshield can be convex when viewed from a position external to the cab portion, and the shape of the windshield can form a portion of a conical surface.
