I was watching the Military Channel and I saw thay they will show a documentary of the V-22 Osprey; for the design table to the front lines of war. Its gonna be a cool show..... Cool

However, what pisses me off was THE WAY IT UNFOLDED!!!! Shocked

What the hell Alphasim? Please tell me you are going to redesign this model.....the rotor blades are folded, the wings folds along the fuselage, and the engine nacells are folded too!!! it was amazing to see that and I am wondering why no one saw this coming......

Ok....done with the ranting. You can see it on the Military Channel, April 7th @ 10pm...I believe I will be in the field too!!!! Crying or Very sad

Oh I can record it.... Embarassed

Two outboard blades of each rotor are folded inboard



Nacelles rotate to cruise mode





Wing begins rotating clockwise





Wing rotated 90 degrees within 90 seconds



NOW THIS IS WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT!!!!!!

Why didn't Alphasim research this further?
