Information about Tilting Vehicles

Multi-track tilting vehicles have been around for a long time, several makes have gone into production, yet most people have never yet seen one on the street. What are the engineering challenges? Here are some more technical resources about the art of tilting.

• The Best Global Resource Yahoo Tilting Forum. This is where you can find discussion with technical experts, pictures, historical information, patents, links.
• FTC Steering
  Free-to-castor (FTC) steering is a controversial approach to vehicle design, which has been pioneered by Phillip James in Australia.
  • Tilting Vehicle Australia is the best global resource on FTC.

  • Computer simulation - work done by TvA to study vehicle dynamics.

  • Building my own Prototype Tilting Trike with free-to-castor steering. The diary of an experimentalist who set out to prove that FTC works.

  • Stephen Williams' FTC prototype. A description on the Yahoo Tilting forum of a FTC construction project in progress.
