Editing VTOL (section)

===Convertiplane===
{{Main|Convertiplane}}
A convertiplane takes off under rotor lift like a helicopter, then transitions to fixed-wing lift in forward flight. Examples of this include the [[Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey]]

====Tiltrotor====
{{Main|Tiltrotor}}
A tiltrotor or proprotor tilts its propellers or rotors vertically for VTOL and then tilts them forwards for horizontal wing-borne flight, while the main wing remains fixed in place.

====Tilting ducted fan====
Similar to tiltrotor concept, but with [[ducted fan]]s, as can be seen in the [[Bell X-22]].

====Tiltwing====
{{Main|Tiltwing}}
A tiltwing has its propellers or rotors fixed to a conventional wing and tilts the whole assembly to transition between vertical and horizontal flight.
