I have always been interested in the V-22 Osprey u.s. navy aircraft, it can tilt it's rotors to take off vertically.
Now, say we have a takeoff scenario, a crewmember decides to move to the back of the craft while it is taking off, the change in weight distribution creates a pitch where the craft tilts backwards, now the aircrafts senosors, I assume an inertial measurment unit detect changes in the pitch and now what? what does the system do to stabilize the plain? obviously the two rotors can't shift to counter the pitch, so my only guess is a weight inside the plane that can be shifted on command to fix the center of gravity,
So the question is, how does the u.s. navy v-22 osprey stabilize it's pitch during takeoff?
