🚁 Tiltrotor Conversion: Nacelle Tilt, Wing Lift Share and Rotor Power (2D)

Side view of a tiltrotor aircraft in steady level flight with weight, wing lift, rotor thrust and drag drawn as arrows. Change the speed, the wing lift coefficient, the mass, the rotor radius, the wing area, the altitude and the drag, and read the nacelle tilt the force balance demands, the share of weight the wing carries and the induced and propulsive rotor power. Force balance, Glauert induced velocity, best-glide speed and stall speed are checked numerically, with four in-page numerical checks.
