La mobilité aérienne avancée (MAA) désigne une façon novatrice d'assurer le transport par voie aérienne. Il s'agit du transport des gens et des biens dans des lieux éloignés, bien souvent en situation d'urgence, au moyen d'aéronefs autonomes, pilotés à distance ou à décollage et atterrissage verticaux. 2, record 1, French, - mobilit%C3%A9%20a%C3%A9rienne%20avanc%C3%A9e

An aircraft primarily for V/STOL where the thrust vector is altered by moving the wing through a near 90 degree arc. 2, record 2, English, - tilt%2Dwing%20aircraft
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
A tiltwing aircraft is similar in concept to a tiltrotor design. Whereas a tilt rotor rotates the propeller from axial to dorsal, a tiltwing rotates the entire wing, not just the nacelles or prop and shaft. They are typically fully capable of VTOL operations. An advantage of tilt wing over tilt rotor is that when the rotors tilt up, the wings rotate so that they do not block the downward air. 3, record 2, English, - tilt%2Dwing%20aircraft

Bien que les Américains aient commencé à mettre en service l'appareil à rotors basculants V-22, l'avion à ailes basculantes CL-899 de Canadair avait déjà offert des capacités semblables en 1965. Ces modèles révolutionnaires, qui allient la vitesse, le rayon d'action et la capacité de transport propres aux avions à voilure fixe, ont aussi la capacité de passer en mode vertical et de faire du vol stationnaire, en changeant l'orientation des rotors ou des hélices. Mais ces genres d'appareils ont une mécanique complexe, et les programmes de vols d'essai des CL-89 et V-22 ont dans les deux cas été assombris par plusieurs écrasements. L'avion à voilure basculante CL-89 avait un avantage marqué sur les aéronefs à rotors basculants comme le modèle V-22 du fait qu'il pouvait décoller et atterrir comme un avion ordinaire, alors que les rotors surdimensionnés d'un appareil V-22 lui permettent uniquement de décoller et d'atterrir verticalement. 3, record 2, French, - avion%20%C3%A0%20ailes%20basculantes

The U. S. Air Force's Air Vehicles Directorate is developing a Space Operations Vehicle to serve as the reusable launch vehicle component of the proposed Air Force Space Command(AFSPC) Military Space Plane. The SOV integrated concept is not a specific design concept, but rather a set of capabilities. Desired attributes for the SOV include responsive on-demand launch, high sortie rates, short turnaround times, and aircraft-like systems operability. 3, record 3, English, - space%20operations%20vehicle
