TILT-PROP AIRCRAFT
First Claim
1. A tilt-prop aircraft configured to determine operation in a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) mode or a forward flight mode by adjusting a tilt angle of a rotor connected to a wing, the tilt-prop aircraft comprising:
- a blade included in the rotor and configured to rotate to produce lift and thrust; and
a tilt center shaft configured to connect the rotor and the wing to each other and adjust the tilt angle of the rotor with respect to a flight plane of the tilt-prop aircraft,wherein when the tilt angle of the rotor is adjusted, a pitch angle of the blade is varied by a power transmission unit mechanically interlocked with the tilt center shaft.
