Aircraft
Abstract:
An aircraft (40). The aircraft comprises a plurality of propellers (46) mounted to wings (44). Each propeller comprises at least one blade (72, 74) coupled to a respective propeller cyclic actuator (78) configured to cyclically alter the pitch of the respective blade (72, 74) as the propeller rotates. The aircraft (40) is configured such that provision of cyclic pitch to the propeller (46) twists at least a portion of the wing (44) about a span of the wing (46) relative to the fuselage (42), to thereby adjust the local angle of incidence of the wing (46).
