The tilt rotor aircraft market was valued at US$ 992.61 million in 2020 and is projected to reach US$ 1,766.18 million in 2028. The market it expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.1% during 2021–2028.

A tilt rotor aircraft generates its lift and propulsion with the help of rotors that are mounted at the end of the fixed wing. The rotors are vertically tilted to generate lift and further the aircraft gradually gains forward momentum as the rotors are tilted in horizontal direction. Thus, this enables the aircraft to have vertical take-off and landing capability (VTOL) of a rotary wing aircraft and the range & speed of a fixed wing aircraft. This capability eliminates the need for dedicated landing strip for such aircraft. Also, such aircraft are considered more efficient compared to a rotary wing aircraft when it comes to transporting people and goods within short distance. As rotary wing aircraft are widely used for travelling shorter distance, the operating cost of rotary wing aircraft is generally at higher side compared to fixed wing aircraft. Thus, utilizing tilt rotor aircraft for transportation application enables end users to save significant amount of operation cost. Owing to the aforementioned advantages of tilt rotor aircraft, the market is anticipated to witness steady growth during the forecast period.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Tilt Rotor Aircraft Market

The COVID-19 outbreak has significantly affected the world and is continuing to shatter several countries. Until the outbreak, the defense industry was experiencing substantial growth in terms of production and services. However, the outbreak has disrupted the supply chain. In addition, several governments have deprioritized defense spending; instead, they are investing in technologies to combat the spread of novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19. This factor weakened the production and R&D of various defense equipment during 2020, which hindered the growth of the tilt rotor aircraft market.
