Key Technologies and Airworthiness Certification of Tiltrotor Aircraft

 

With the rapid development of urban air mobility and the low-altitude economy, aircraft capable of both vertical takeoff and landing and efficient cruise have become a research hotspot. As a representative configuration in this direction, the tiltrotor achieves flight mode transition through rotor tilting, combining the maneuverability of helicopters with the range advantages of fixed-wing aircraft. However, challenges such as aerodynamic interference, dynamic coupling, and control stability during the transition phase remain key bottlenecks limiting its engineering application. This session aims to bring together scholars and engineers from around the world, focusing on the core challenges in the field of tiltrotor technology, sharing the latest research findings, and promoting theoretical innovation and technological breakthroughs. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: aerodynamic layout and optimization design of tiltrotors; dynamic transition corridor studies; rotor/wing aerodynamic interaction mechanisms; fluid-structure coupling stability and response simulation analysis under various flight modes; mechanical design and reliability analysis of tilt mechanisms; advanced flight control algorithms and fault-tolerant control strategies; noise prediction and suppression techniques; novel propulsion system integration and energy management; airworthiness certification of tiltrotor aircraft.

随着城市空中交通与低空经济的快速发展,兼具垂直起降与高效巡航能力的飞行器成为研究热点。倾转旋翼机作为这一方向的代表性构型,通过旋翼倾转实现飞行模式的切换,能够兼顾直升机的灵活性与固定翼飞机的航程优势。然而,其在过渡飞行阶段面临的气动干扰、动力学耦合与控制稳定性等问题,仍是制约工程应用的关键瓶颈。本分会场旨在汇聚国内外学者与工程师,聚焦倾转旋翼领域的核心挑战,分享最新研究成果,推动理论创新与技术突破。研讨范围包括但不限于:倾转旋翼气动布局与优化设计、动态过渡走廊研究、旋翼/机翼气动干扰机理、各模式下流固耦合稳定性和响应仿真分析、倾转机构机械设计与可靠性分析、先进飞行控制算法与容错控制策略、噪声预测与抑制技术、新型动力系统集成与能量管理、倾转旋翼飞行器适航审定等。
