V-64 Sparrow
A submission to the Helicopter Challenge by @WinsWings
V-64 Sparrow
Created as a modern successor to previous Tilt-Rotor military transport, the V-64 Sparrow now serves as the workhorse transport for FOBs and naval vessels. The aircraft is powered by 2 large turboprop engines that can swivel 85 degrees forward and 21.25 degrees back. The cargo bay dimensions are 7.25 meters long, 2.2 meters wide, and 2 meter high, and can fit most small cargo, light vehicles, or up to 30 passengers. The Sparrow can also serve on aircraft carriers, with the ability to stow its wings for storage. There are many other features that makes the Sparrow a versatile aircraft, but one things for sure, its the aircraft that the military needs and deserves.

Flight Recommendations
-For vertical takeoff, set throttle to 90%-95% and trim to -30-60%, slowly swivel nacelles forward and pitch up until you are in horizontal flight.
-For horizontal takeoff, swivel nacelles forward at about 45-50 degrees, set throttle to 75-90% and trim to -30%. Pitch up after reaching 275-300 km/s.
-During vertical landing, throttle is recomended at about 60% with about half trim, slowly swivel engine nacelles to vertical. Swivel past vertical to increase the rate of deceleration. Constantly adjust throttle and rotational axis until you have landed.
-During horizontal landing, swivel engine nacelles to 45-50 degrees and set throttle to 40-50%. Proceed to land on runway, brake immediately to slow down.
-Aircraft will become less manevurable if below 200 mph, and also stalls at around 200 mph
-Aircraft is very sensitive to pitch inputs during horizontal flight.
-To refuel midair, spawn tanker plane to max speed, set own throttle to 70+% to catch up, then lower throttle to 65-70%. Be careful not to let the drogue hit the propellers.

@Seeras
Would it be possible for you to make this plane a successor to the challenge? It didn’t automatically post as a successor for some reason.
