Mini Tiltrotor

5,277 MobyDick  6.5 years ago
Auto Credit Based on MobyDick's Long Range Transport Aircraft

This is my first attempt to build a tiltrotor aircraft. It can take off and land vertically like a helicopter while having the speed of a conventional fixed-wing aircraft when its engines are rotated forward. For horizontal flight, turn off AG8 to deactivate the gyroscope to make the plane more maneuverable.

AG5 = navigation lights
AG6 = landing lights
AG7 = parachute
AG8 = gyroscope
VTOL to rotate engines' direction
