*The tilt range is -10deg .. 0deg (vertical) .. 90deg (horitzontal) | |||
*The allowed tilt range is a function of the aircrafts speed. | |||
*The flight computer limits the actual tilt to this range. | |||
*Therefore you can lift of with vertical rotors and accelerate like a helicopter. | |||
*The computer will increase the tilt with increasing airspeed. | |||
*For faster acceleration set the tilt to the maximum. | |||
*The Osprey can hover within a range of -10deg to 30deg. | |||
*You can set the tilt to horizontal/90deg on ground. Due to the lack of speed the tilt is limited to 30deg max. | |||
