Or with U.S. Army markings in a similar shade of green :)

USMC are back in Darwin, I was hoping for an open day but nothing yet. Saw a CH-53E in flight yesterday, love them and think its too bad Australia went down the Chook road instead. Still hoping for an eventual Osprey or Valour buy though.

Keep dreaming…it will be in the whiff verse for a long, loooong, looooooooong time.

In the meantime, you better get used to these:

Those of us at Bell wouldn't mind that at all! Meanwhile, there are already three different FMS packages in work and more in negotiations (two of the in-work ones have been reported in the press). It certainly doesn't hurt that the ATTR is demonstrating design improvements and enhanced capabilities (the IFR capability being just one).

Valiant: a model being built (or it was in 2012) for a USC thesis film:

That's very cool. I quite like it.

Cheers,

I've just spent some time looking up Valiant. Went from thesis film to full-on production & was released in April.

Lots of big names in FX volunteered their time & talent, & it seems the total budget for the film was sub-$20K.

I'd love to be able to see it somewhere/somewhen.

It's a 23 minute short.

Less than $20k budget? They spent their money VERY well then! Where can you see the whole thing?

raafif · « **Reply #238 on:** June 14, 2014, 04:32:02 AM »

not really a tilt-rotor, unless you include tilting the whole plane & the pilot .......

Forget abot tail-sitters .... here's a NOSE-sitter !!

Not sure if I can direct link a FB photo here... QTR Osprey (not mine)

D'oh, I thought it look familiar! Well, worthy of a re-post for sure

That looks like elmayerle's real-life work on the port engine intake.

hoping he can confirm that as well :) didn't realize it had a great paint scheme to go with it

kitnut617 · « **Reply #245 on:** August 07, 2014, 11:23:47 PM »

That photo was taken a year & a half ago ---- must be more advanced than that now if Evan can't talk about it

Old Wombat · « **Reply #246 on:** August 08, 2014, 12:02:04 AM »

I'm sure he has posted on it, it's an improved filter to allow operations in dusty environments with reduced engine wear & failure associated with said dust.

elmayerle · « **Reply #247 on:** August 08, 2014, 12:35:15 AM »

Yes, that's the aircraft on which we are flying the proof of concept for the new inlet on the port engine (I was heavily involved in that and I'm now very heavily involved in the production version). N204TR is officially the ATTR (Advanced Technology Tilt-Rotor) aircraft and is on bail for demonstrating new developments and technologies. If you saw pictures of the demo for adding a tanker capability, it was used for that among other efforts that I can't discuss.

I like the female profile amongst the camo, is that idea copied from a real world camo scheme?

Yep.
