“A Tiltrotor Enterprise: From Iraq to the Future” provides a comprehensive look at the development, operationalization, and future potential of tiltrotor aircraft.

This technology has fundamentally changed the way the USMC operates and is poised to have a similar transformative impact on the U.S. Navy and Army.

The book highlights the strategic advantages offered by tiltrotor platforms in terms of range, speed, and versatility, while also addressing the ongoing efforts to ensure their long-term sustainability and integration within the broader joint force.

The narrative, enriched by operational anecdotes and expert perspectives, underscores the vital role of the “tiltrotor enterprise” in shaping the future of U.S. military power projection and distributed operations.

The book chronicles the operational development and increasing importance of tiltrotor aircraft across the USMC, USAF, and now the U.S. Navy, with a forward look at the U.S. Army’s impending adoption of tiltrotor technology through the Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) program.
