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 ?

Shoot, the FMS aspects are just swinging into heavy play, with Japan leading the way, and I rather doubt they'll be doing civilian sales soon (the aircraft would have to get a civil certification for that and I've heard nothing in that regard).

The AW609 is almost there - see here for more details.

Hey Evan,

Why have you kept quiet about this new version of the V-22?

Hasegawa's Egg Plane MV-22 Osprey - coming in June.

OMG, that Eggplane Osprey looks constipated on a "That's GOTTA Hurt" level... LOL

He-he, nice one. If you want to see more in similar style just go to

Seriously, Vuk, the Pregnant Osprey IS a model kit coming out--do a google on Hasegawa Eggplanes. Some are cute, some weird, that one... well, in WWII colors its squadron code would be WT-F.

Ooops, I didn't know that!

Damn, I'm going to have to get one of those and do it up as N204TR, also known as the ATTR (Advanced Technology Tilt Rotor - a testbed aircraft for various concepts, I was heavily involved in the first one tested and which is still on there for further operational testing) for my desk at work,

Some from Cutangus:

Fun design!!

elmayerle · « **Reply #210 on:** May 08, 2014, 09:54:52 AM »

Looks plausible, somewhat like an XV-3 converted to turboshaft power instead of a piston engine. The only thing I'm not certain of is whether you could fit the controls for four-bladed prop-rotors in those nacelles (they tend to be rather large-sized due to control loads).

some tilt-engine birds from deviantart. Really, really digging these designs...

Those are awesome!

Gingie · « **Reply #213 on:** May 12, 2014, 02:28:04 AM »

another one, the AH-64 roots are obvious. I like it!!

That has me wanting to do a tilt-rotor Hawker Sea Hawk....

arkon · « **Reply #215 on:** May 12, 2014, 11:14:48 AM »

that one from Cutangus makes me think a he-162 would be a good starting off point.

Kerick · « **Reply #216 on:** May 12, 2014, 11:25:05 AM »

I thought Sea Hawk at first glance also. There would be some basic airframe changes but still doable.

GTX_Admin · « **Reply #217 on:** May 12, 2014, 03:46:58 PM »

Maybe a SeaHawk + parts from Yak-38 + some V-22 bits...

Both if cleaned up could look good in plastic. The second one for some reason draws my eye...

GTX_Admin · « **Reply #219 on:** May 13, 2014, 01:47:17 AM »

These remind me a bit of the drop ship from Aliens:

Gingie · « **Reply #220 on:** May 13, 2014, 04:18:02 AM »

Dropship would look great with some wings & tilt engines like the those on the Terminator HK... hmm....

I always liked the dropship except for the missile launching contraptions. Even with futuristic technology there would have to be a better way of mounting those weapons.
The deviant art pics look like dropships on some serious steroids!

elmayerle · « **Reply #222 on:** May 13, 2014, 10:11:26 AM »

It's more of a joke idea, but the 20th SOS flies CV-22B's for AFSOC and their nickname is "The Green Hornets"; it would think that one with the pilot's name shown as "Britt Reid" would be amusing (that, of course, is the name of the radio, and, later, TV, character who fought crime as "The Green Hornet".

Osprey's in Afghanistan

Thanks Evan - what was with the subtitles? It's not like the accents were that tough to understand...
