About the Tiltrotor aircraft, straight wing with two large rotors on the wingtips tilted upward, front-quarter view

A tiltrotor is a clever aircraft with big rotors mounted on the ends of its wings that can swivel. Pointed straight up, the rotors lift it off the ground like a helicopter; tilted forward, they pull it along like a propeller plane. This lets it rise straight up with no runway yet still fly fast and far once in the air. Trace the wing, then the two rotors, and imagine tilting them from up to forward.

• A tiltrotor can take off straight up, then fly forward faster than a helicopter.
• Only the rotors tilt on a tiltrotor; the wings stay in place.
