Slopes and Thrust Vector
SAS, your recollection of the limits re the CH-47A speed trim limits and results of mis-application in manual mode matches mine. Only point I was getting at is that the tilting of the thrust vector using that mechanism in the Chinook isn't very different than tilting nacelles in the V-22.
21st Century, great post with some specific info that ties into the McPave post. ( Looks like my expectation that the V-22 would be very good laterally was short-sighted: I did not take into account the bottom of the nacelle ( exhaust stack ) winding up fairly low when at the 90 degree tilt condition ). The V-22 has the lateral control power, but is limited by the aircraft's geometry.
Thanks,
John Dixson
