  • Multi-mode tiltrotor nacelle control system with integrated envelope protection
    Patent number: 6644588
    Abstract: A tiltrotor aircraft (11) has a multi-mode tiltrotor nacelle control system with integrated envelope protection (13). The tiltrotor aircraft (11) has a fuselage (15), a tail section (17), a left wing member (21a), a right wing member (21b), a right engine nacelle (23b), a left engine nacelle (23a), a left proprotor (25a), and a right proprotor (25b). Activation of the nacelle control system causes preselected rotational movement of the tiltrotor assembly.
