Turbo-Compound Tiltrotor aircraft

[Goddess Bhavani]

This is my first KAX / Infernal Robotics mod craft, intended to serve as a testbed for future VTOL implementations.

But of course, it's a small scale recreation of the real world Bell XV-15 tiltrotor, ancestor to the famous V-22 Osprey.

I didn't have suitable rotors to make it look alike to actual tiltrotors so I improvized with a hybrid piston / turbine "motorjet" engine combo that gave high sea level thrust and good combined throttle response from little 62.5cm nacelles.

This is actually a pretty good build and I'm surprised it didn't get more attention!

By the way, nice added sound fx!

Thanks for the compliment!

It could be due to the simple nature of this craft. Not many Mark 1 ships get the limelight with this low a part count. That reminds me, I need to share the craft file on kerbalX!
