- The term “helicopter mode” is used when the rotors are orientated with their axis of rotation substantially vertical (i.e. nacelle angle around 90°). In the guidelines in Attachment F of the Annex the condition is referred to as the “VTOL/Conversion mode”, which is the term used in the Airworthiness Standards in development for the Bell/Agusta BA609. VTOL stands for Vertical Take-Off and Landing.
- Tiltrotor means a class of aircraft capable of vertical take-off and landing, within the powered-lift category, with rotors mounted at or near the wing tips that vary in pitch from near vertical to near horizontal configuration relative to the wing and fuselage.
