design methodology was used to develop cruise and hover control systems because it directly addresses multi-variable and robust design issues. The development of these control systems was governed not only by performance specifications at each particular operating point, but also by the unique requirements of a gain-scheduled conversion control system. The cruise and hover control designs form the basis for the conversion control system. The performance of the resulting conversion closed-loop systems is analyzed in the frequency and time domains. A tilt-wing rotorcraft Modeling, Simulation, Animation, and Real-Time Control (MoSART) software environment provides 3D visualization of the vehicle’s dynamics. The environment is useful for conceptualizing the natural rotorcraft dynamics and for gaining an intuitive understanding of the closed-loop system performance.
