Anyone got an AN-72 wing they could pose next to an Osprey Fuselage?

How about an S-3 Viking wing posed samewise?

Israel will be first to receive V-22 Osprey aircraft from U.S.

Lonewulf models make a kit of the Baynes Helijet an early Tilt Rotor proposal.

I built this one a few years ago, it's quite amusing that when entering Baynes Helijet into Google it came up as the second link - I fear for historical researchers in the future

Nope, not me, I don't drive a pickup, even if I do live in Texas. I find it amusing that, as we finally have a good 1/72 V-22 kit out there, we (Bell) are getting ready to make significant changes to the engine nacelles. The proof of concept for one change is already fiying on N404TR and I'm "assholes and elbows" into the production version. There's a similar change being studied at the back end, but that's a ways down the road for flying the PoC version (I was heavily involved in that, too).

Anyone have Resident Evil: Retribution? From the posters, it's got an interesting-looking tilt-rotor in it.

jcf · « **Reply #185 on:** February 13, 2014, 02:24:45 AM »

They are the machines that first showed up in Resident Evil: Afterlife.

http://www.impdb.org/index.php?title=Resident_Evil:_Afterlife

The IMPDB page refers to them as modified V-22s, which I guess is becoming the generic term for 'tilt-rotor'. $:-\$

Nice and mean looking. It looks like the sentries have been targeted.

I think contra-props would make interesting control systems in a tiltrotor...

"Interesting" is quite the word I'd used since I've been dealing with them (at least in the sense of "don't intrude into this swept volume" way, structure does need to clear) and I'd hate to think about the complications contra-proprotors would introduce.

QTR's Rock. Is the 2nd picture a model or CGI?

GTX_Admin · « **Reply #192 on:** March 14, 2014, 02:43:28 AM »

CGI I am afraid - see here

Though, don't let that stop you from using it as inspiration for your own build.

Definitely CGI, that stores "wing" is not in a good location for firing while in airplane mode and the side-firing gun is nicely positioned in the plane of the rotor.

From the anime "appleseed" I don't know what is sexier, the C-130 noze job or the fact that its a tilt rotor

jcf · « **Reply #195 on:** March 23, 2014, 03:21:31 AM »

I'd say that's a tilt-wing.

apparently the Osprey will be sold to civilian companies soon - what uses do you think they'll be put to ? .... light skycrane, firefighting ? What modifications & colour schemes ?

According to whom? The Agusta-Westland AW609 is apparently on track, although delayed, but it isn't
a V-22. Bell has indicated they want to develop civil variants of the V-280, however that is years off.
