Bell V-280 Valor - Wikipedia
A V-280 in flight with rotors tilted to hover configuration. The V-280 is designed for a cruising speed of 280 knots (320 mph; 520 km/h), hence the name V-280.
List of tiltrotor aircraft - Wikipedia
A tiltrotor is a type of vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft that convert from vertical to horizontal flight by rotating propellers or ducted fans from horizontal positions like conventional aircraft propellers to vertical like a helicopter's rotors.
Tiltrotor - Wikipedia
Tiltrotor design combines the VTOL capability of a helicopter with the speed and range of a conventional fixed-wing aircraft. For vertical flight, the rotors are angled so the plane of rotation is horizontal, generating lift the way a normal helicopter rotor does.
When Two Worlds Collide: What Are Tiltrotor Aircraft? - Simple …
2023年12月5日 · A tilt-rotor is an aircraft with its proprotors going from the vertical position for take-off to the horizontal position for cruise and back to vertical for landing. As a result, the tilt-rotor enjoys the best of both helicopters that can take off and land virtually anywhere and fixed-wing airplanes that can cruise more efficiently – and quietly.
