Tiltrotor Aircraft
Tiltrotor aircraft are unique flying machines that combine the features of both helicopters and fixed-wing airplanes. They have rotors that can tilt, allowing them to take off and land vertically like a helicopter, while also transitioning to forward flight like an airplane. This design enables them to travel faster and cover longer distances than traditional helicopters.
One of the most well-known examples of a tiltrotor aircraft is the Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey. This aircraft is used by the military for various missions, including troop transport and supply delivery. The versatility of tiltrotor technology makes it valuable for both military and civilian applications.
