@zyndrips: Standard helicopter blades twist 8 to 14 degrees to balance lift. The V-22 Osprey twists 47 degrees. That aggressive angle is what allows the proprotor to function as both a helicopter rotor and a high speed airplane propeller. But that same compromise is exactly why the Osprey is one of the least efficient helicopters ever built when it comes to hovering. #v22osprey #engineering #aviation #military #tiltrotor #technology #osprey #usairforce #explained #education #aerodynamics #fyp #foryou #tiltrotor
