V22 Osprey Vectoring

V22 Osprey Tilting Rotors

A close look at the rotors show that they are not fully horizontal or vertical. They show an angle to the wings. A process of vectoring the thrust from the twin engine to 2 directions. Vertically to create lift and horizontally to create forward motion. Wonder whether the V22 can fly backwards? A conventional helicopter can do that although slowly.

When the rotors are tilted fully horiztonal, it should fly faster than a conventional helicopter.
