Un petit rappel à la communauté aéronautique francophone :

🚁 = aéronef à décollage et atterrissage verticaux (ADAV)
🛩 = aéronef à décollage et atterrissage courts (ADAC)
🔋 = ADAV électrique
ℹ️ Hélicoptères ⊂ ADAV. Mais la réciproque est fausse.

@vstol Thank you for sharing this story, Mike! It is an amazing book, indeed, full of great data, pictures, and perspectives on the future (which is now!). Most of these discussions are still valid today. And there is even a mention of... The concept! On page 109: "The tiltrotor is seen by as one way of implementing a stopped-rotor design. After transitioning to forward flight, the rotor would be feathered, stopped, and folded backwards. [...]" 🚁
