    Abstract: An aircraft that includes a canard having a leading edge and a trailing edge, a forward swept and fixed wing having a trailing edge, and a plurality of tilt rotor submodules. The plurality of tilt rotor submodules includes a first tilt rotor submodule where the leading edge of the canard contacts the first tilt rotor submodule at position that is within a range of 40% to 60%, inclusive, of the length of the first tilt rotor submodule where 0% corresponds to a forward tip of the first tilt rotor submodule and 100% corresponds to an aft tip of the first tilt rotor submodule. The trailing edge of the canard contacts the first tilt rotor submodule at position that is within a range of 55% to 80%, inclusive, of the length of the first tilt rotor submodule. The plurality of tilt rotor submodules also includes a second tilt rotor submodule that is coupled to the trailing edge of the forward swept and fixed wing.

    Abstract: A pylon portion includes a first surface that attaches to an upper surface of a spar in a wing, where the pylon portion and a rotor portion protrude aft of the wing. A second surface attaches to a lower surface of the spar in the wing. The pylon portion also includes an intake air vent; a horizontal mounting surface; a rotor controller that is coupled to the horizontal mounting surface; and a heat sink that couples to the horizontal mounting surface and dissipates heat from at least the rotor controller. The rotor portion is moveably coupled to the pylon portion such that one or more rotor blades included in the rotor portion are able to move between: (1) a first position below the wing that is associated with a vertical flight mode and (2) a second position aft of the wing that is associated with a forward flight mode.

    Abstract: An aircraft includes a canard having a trailing edge, a forward swept and fixed wing having a horizontal plane and a trailing edge, and a plurality of tilt rotors. At least one of the plurality of tilt rotors is attached to the trailing edge of the canard and at least one of the plurality of tilt rotors is attached to the trailing edge of the forward swept and fixed wing. The aircraft also includes a T-tail having a horizontal plane, where the horizontal plane of the T-tail is at a height that is higher than the horizontal plane of the forward swept and fixed wing.

    Abstract: A short takeoff and landing (STOL) vehicle which comprises a tail having a surface and a fuselage having a surface, where the tail and the fuselage have a continuity of surfaces where the surface of the tail is directly coupled to the surface of the fuselage. The vehicle further includes a forward-swept wing having a trailing edge and a rotor that is attached to the trailing edge of the forward-swept wing via a pylon, where the rotor has a maximum downward angle from horizontal that is less than or equal to 60° and the STOL vehicle takes off and lands using at least some lift from the forward-swept wing and at least some lift from the rotor.
