Similar issues with uncontrollable roll pitch due to the rotors creating competing vortex caused a lot of fatal accidents in the V-22 Osprey as well. The problem has mostly been overcome with fly by wire and computerized autopilot input. But when flying a literal brick that requires perfect balance between rotors, it's not exactly reassuring to think that you're one defective circuit away from crashing.

Modify the design a little update avionics with off the shelf tech, new but reliable engines and you'll likely have a perfectly servicable craft that could be exported to countries looking for a osprey type aircraft but can't afford the Osprey or wants something a faster than say the Mi-26. but has similar capabilities.

[@quillmaurer6563]

Interesting to compare this with the V-22 Osprey tilt-rotor, the only helicopter-airplane hybrid (at least so far) to be mass produced or enter regular service, really to count as a successful aircraft rather than failure or experiment. Similar in some ways - same objectives, similar capabilities to my understanding (though I think this is a bit bigger than the V-22 - the V-22's concept could theoretically be scaled up to this size or larger though), and same basic idea of engine and rotor/prop at each wingtip. Main difference is that this has a separate propeller and rotor, while the V-22 has a single proprotor per side that serves both functions, tilting between vertical and horizontal axis. I wonder what the pros and cons of each are? This design allows propeller and rotor to each be more optimized for their role (rotor much bigger than propeller) while the V-22 is a compromise, and the complicated tilting mechanism isn't required, nor an engine specially designed to function in either orientation. I also imagine the control system design of this is simpler, the V-22 wasn't really possible (or at least not practical) until fly-by-wire came about, which didn't exist in the '60s. But the V-22's design is probably more aerodynamically efficient and possibly lighter by not having an extra rotor causing drag in horizontal flight, and the gearbox is surely much simpler by not having to have - and clutch and de-clutch - both a rotor and propeller driven by the same engine, that would reduce weight, complexity, and failure possibilities. Based on all this, I think the tilt-rotor comes out ahead, and apparently the engineers at Bell and Boeing agree.

[@PixlRainbow]

I think though that in forward flight, the disconnected rotors essentially become autogyros, acting as extensions of the wing for extra lift and providing anti-stall safety.

[@edhikurniawan]

Basically the real Airwolf in terms of propulsion concept. I wonder if the rotor blades can be fixed during horizontal flight.

[@quillmaurer6563]

I seem to recall that helicopter-plane hybrids want to keep them spinning slowly rather than stopping them, as forward motion would cause excessive aerodynamic loads on the rotor, possibly more lift on one side than the other, without centrifugal force to counter it. If stopped the rotor would tilt over and hit the fuselage, or the blades would bend upward or downward, possibly breaking them. As long as it's spinning, centrifugal forces keep it reasonably level (within limits) and straight. Helicopter blades aren't really rigid, they're quite flexible (we see them sagging under their own weight when a helicopter is sitting on the ground, said own weight is tiny compared to the weight of the helicopter), could never withstand the aerodynamic forces without centrifugal force holding them out - sort of like the string of a weedwhacker. And likewise I understand that most helicopter rotors are not rigidly connected to the mast but free to tilt, to control roll and pitch the blade angles are changed side-side or fore-aft with the cyclic pitch control, which tilts the entire rotor disc (forces have to be applied 90° from the desired tilt axis due to gyroscopic effect), the helicopter fuselage basically dangling under it. Having it spinning helps keep it level, I vaguely recall a helicopter pilot explaining that more lift on one side is compensated for naturally (no pilot input required) by the rotor tilting up on the high-lift side, the blade moving down - having a higher angle of attack - as it goes over to the low-lift side, resulting in balanced lift, the blades moving up and down through the tilt compensates for the different amount of lift due to different relative airspeed. Plus the rotation axis remains vertical relative to the helicopter, centrifugal force pulls the blades perpendicular to that - thanks to this single-blade rotors or propellers are possible (and do exist though are quite rare). Thus on a helicopter-plane hybrid, the rotors wouldn't be supporting the weight of the aircraft, meaning less forces that would need to be counteracted by these effects, so it doesn't need to go full speed. But even with the rotors neutral-pitch going so fast would put forces on the rotors that would damage them if not spinning. They would go slower than usual to reduce power consumption (I think just auto-rotating by setting the blade pitch, similar to a gyrocopter, but relatively slowly so they don't produce as much drag as they would if auto-rotating at full speed), as well as to avoid tips going supersonic (or even transsonic) as forward speed increases. Advancing tip velocity = airspeed + rotor speed (in rad/sec ideally, otherwise conversion factors are needed) * rotor dia/2. This needs to be kept subsonic, so slower rotor speed allows for more airspeed without hitting this limit. I seem to recall one helicopter-plane hybrid design had the rotor tips packed with depleted uranium to maximize centrifugal force on the rotor, allowing it to spin slower without damage. I do think I've heard of other concepts that actually do stop the rotor, but they use a very different rotor design. Shorter, wider, fully rigid blades, look more like airplane wings than helicopter rotor blades. If I remember right that would stop with the rotor blades perpendicular to the fuselage and they would act as wings. I'm a bit skeptical of how well that would work though, as such short and wide-chord blades would be rather inefficient as a helicopter rotor. And there's the problem that as the rotor is slowing down or speeding up it would get too slow to act like a helicopter rotor but at moments be parallel to the fuselage, effectively meaning no wings, so transitioning between helicopter and airplane mode would be problematic. Maybe it had fixed wings as well, once the rotor is stopped it was a biplane. Or maybe it goes zero-G during the transition so lift is momentarily not needed. Or maybe the designers hadn't thought of that problem. Probably a much longer answer than you were looking for, but it's a very interesting question.

[@edhikurniawan]

@@quillmaurer6563 All the examples shown in this video has fixed wings. I got a hunch transition to the ga horizontal flight may be simple. But as you mentioned, back to helicopter mode may be not as responsive. Hmm. Definitely i would think something more rigid blades as they also an airfoil or wings. Like if somehow can be stopped, it would be a kin to an + or x shaped wing. Which if they kept free spinning i think would interfere while at high horizontal speed. Like all the experiments here 'only' aiming at 400-500kmh ish maximum airspeed. You have explained this but, thinking from my perspective. Also an option to 'pack' the rotor when not in use but it would be sluggish to unfold and would need extreme precision design. I think? Or maybe ducted rotor design? But it has dimension limit. Then again idk how fast it will transition to helicopter. Imagining from near mach 1 to a safe airspeed for hovering. The duct will keep the rotor not interfering while at horizontal flight. But from all of my ideas, i think this is the most plausible option. Although will need multiple of those, not just twin.

[@ericstromberg9608]

I think they need to autorotate to provide lift.

[@edhikurniawan]

@@ericstromberg9608 It seems they provide drag and unnecessary turbulence to me. During the horizontal flight. Helos do not flying horizontally (they tilted down-forward while flying to get the forward push), but those planes does. As the fixed wing would provide most the lift during the time. I could be wrong, but it is what i see.

The Fairey Rotodyne avoided KA and Osprey limitations decades ago by using the large rotor for taking off and landing only. It was physically separate from the props, could double as a 'parachute' in the event of main engines failure and use free spinning to generate electricity. Also it was pressurized which the Osprey cannot be. Kamov's twin large rotor system was too complicated and always linked to motive engines whereas Rotodyne's gyroplane classification achieved what the others -- old and new -- could not and even early tests showed that airliner speeds of the period were built in. It failed because the USA cancelled orders on grounds of 'noise' and bullied Canada to do the same. Noise levels from the rotor tip boosters were reduced to being below the levels of Boeing and Douglas airliners but a foolish UK government failed to support development. Russia would have advanced ALL of its aviation (inclusive of lift gyrodynes for the BAM railway project) had it used Fairey Co design personnel.
