So it’s another Osprey

It's much better than an Osprey because the rotors tilt, but the engines remain horizontal.

With the Osprey the engines rotate to the vertical when the rotors are tilted, which points the exhaust at the ground (melting tarmac,) and greatly complicating the cross connect power shaft connections that are necessary for rotor synchronization and engine-out emergencies.

The Valor's horizontal engine placement simplifies the cross connect shaft, and keeps engine exhaust from overheating runways or ship decks.

Why rotors instead of jet engines? Can that not be done? I’m just a fungus.....

"...It's much better than an Osprey because the rotors tilt, but the engines remain horizontal...."

It's still going to kill everybody on board in the event of a double engine failure so, no, it's not "much better than the Osprey," and it puts our servicemen at unnecessary risk every time it leaves the ground.

“It’s much better that the Osprey ...”
Engine fails everyone dies..

stupid smile me that yoyo

How dare you use facts. Thanks for the tech briefing.

“and greatly complicating the cross connect power shaft connections”

So it does not have a drive shaft that has to bend and transfer power at almost 90 degrees then?

How do they do this without a a more complicated drive shaft that has more interlocked moving parts to make that 90 degree bend?
