The last time that I commented on this airframe I got hit from 360 degrees. I await the "Osprey"ping list response.
Me too. I think it's inherently a deathtrap, less likely to remain controllable than a helicopter when taking hits from AA or missiles. This thing is the very definition of "asymmetrical thrust". I know it has provisions to drive the props from one engine, but all that machinery can be broken easily. I would hate to have to ride around in one.
Once upon a time not too long ago people actually believed that if you fired enough rockets off the sides of helicopters the thrust from the rockets would be enough to cause the helicopter to stop in mid air and crash...
Aircraft engineers have been dealing with the possibility of shooting through the propeller since WWI.
