Man, it's hard to describe the impression this creates. There's so much power there and yet I everything seems so subtle! For me at least, it is vastly different than watching an Osprey, which seems to always be operating outside its design envelop! Thanks for this cool vid. The scenery is very beautiful!
This is a remarkable aircraft it will save countless lives when its put into the SAR role only question is how does the coast guard afford such a pricey toy
i love flying these in my sim games they are just so awesome to fly and its hard dont get me wrong but the feeling after u land is just so saticfying
The tilting blades (prop pitch) are designed to manage the load on the engine in fixed-wing aircraft. The tiltrotors and helicopters have governor devices to manage this.
I wonder if it has the rotor driveshaft through the wing like the V-22. The reason why the V-22 won the contract was that it can land if a one motor dies. Although it can't keep flying like a helicopter with one engine, it can fly in airplane mode but will be forced to land when the engine goes into vertical mode (the props are too big to land as an airplane)
Its more of a helicopter than a fixed wing aircraft. You need to get to speed of around 200 knots so that the wing gets lift before the nacelle can be streamlined for cruising speed. To slow down, you need to angle the nacelle a little bit upward like that of a helicopter rotors.
