Foreign media: China has revealed a manned tiltrotor aircraft prototype for the first time, with photos showing the aircraft hovering in helicopter mode, the fuselage is white, and the rotors are vertical.
The aircraft was developed by Harbin Aircraft Industry Group (a subsidiary of AVIC), and its design differs from the US V-22 "Osprey". Only the rotors rotate while the engines remain fixed, which may reduce mechanical complexity.
This aircraft is smaller than the "Osprey" and is similar to Harbin's Z-9 helicopter series, it has dual military and civilian potential, especially important for aircraft carriers and amphibious ships.
