Convertible aircraft are versatile vehicles designed to operate both as airplanes and helicopters. They can take off and land like a traditional aircraft while also having the ability to hover and maneuver like a rotorcraft. This dual functionality allows them to access areas that may be difficult for standard planes to reach. These aircraft often feature rotating wings or rotors that can be adjusted for different flight modes. Examples of convertible aircraft include the Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey and the Kaman K-MAX. Their unique design makes them valuable for military operations, search and rescue missions, and other specialized applications.
