Elytron 2S: The out-of-the-box tiltrotor concept
...shows a rather interesting concept of tiltrotor VTOL craft (it will be presented at Oshkosh too on the 3th of August), even if it's not totally new.
The boxwing "Prandtl" scheme at least it's not new at all, maybe just the smaller rotating wing (100 degrees span) "in-between", supporting two nacelles/engines with fixed pitch props if I remember it well.
What's your opinion about it? Let alone the recognised difficulty of the transition flight-phases (maybe easier to resolve with the actual hi-tech electronics), I wonder if this concept is viable and maybe less prone to test-crashes, like the V-22 Osprey was.
