As the plane took off, landed, and taxied, the pilots tilted its nose forward so that ... It's a classic aerodynamic problem: most wing shapes that perform well at high speeds by minimizing ...

Moving the cradle caused the wings to twist ... With this control the pilot could adjust the tilt of the elevator and alter the plane's "pitch," or its nose-up/nose-down orientation relative ...

it sucks the plane upwards, creating lift. The 'angle of attack' is the angle at which the wing meets the air. When tilted slightly upwards, the wing forces more air to move downwards over the top ...

The result is mighty complex, with six tilt rotors controlled via servos ... graceful forward flight much like a conventional fixed wing plane. In the hover mode, it just looks like any other ...
