Abstract:
This paper presents the set of a Linear Parameter Variable model of a tiltrotor used to perform the evaluation of the best path to be followed during a conversion maneuver. The simulation of the maneuver requires the definition of a virtual pilot able to drive the aircraft trough the conversion. The results of a first preliminary optimization are presented together with a general assessment of the possible options to be followed during this peculiar maneuver.
