The Tilt Rotor can be “parked” like a car! Unique ground-handling attributes allow for ease of manoeuvring around airports and within restricted spaces.Revolutionary Tilt Rotor aircraft with unique VTOL, VSTOL and hovering capabilities, developed specifically for this model.Nothing out there delivers the same levels of exhilaration and sheer fun of flying the Tilt Rotor! Simply, it goes where Microsoft hadn’t intended and does it comfortably and successfully. This simulation breaks new ground in Flight Simulator! No other VTOL/VSTOL simulation comes close to replicating smooth transitional flight the way this Tilt Rotor does. With prototypes already flying, its official certification is scheduled for 2010. The Wilco Publishing Tilt Rotor is a simulation of the Bell Agusta 609, developed by Bell Agusta Aerospace Company, a joint venture of Bell Helicopter Textron, Inc. Transition from vertical to conventional flight is a breeze in this aeroplane and the on-board systems all combine to make life easier for the pilot under extreme conditions. With an operational ceiling of 25,000 ft., this versatile aircraft will fly in icing conditions and extreme climates, from the Arctic to the desert with a range of 750 nautical miles and cruising speeds of 275 knots. Full-size, fixed-wing aircraft capacity means more space for special functions like short-haul airline work, medical evacutations, military payloads and much more, with the convenience of VTOL helicopter operation or VSTOL in tight corners! No longer will airstrips and airports be necessary for high flying executive travel.
