A previously unknown vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft combining inclined and fixed rotors was spotted at Mojave Airport in California.

Mojave is an oasis for aviation development, where new and often intriguing projects are regularly tested.

- it says in the publication The War Zone.

As indicated, the machine has six rotary units. Two larger ones are located in inclined nacelles on the ends of the wing consoles, and two pairs of smaller ones are mounted vertically on the nacelles embedded in the consoles closer to the fuselage. The only horizontal trapezoidal tail stabilizer has two beams.

There is a windshield in front of the fuselage, divided into two parts, which indicates the location of the seats side by side, at least for those crew members who are located in the front. A large doorway is visible on the left side. The undercarriage consists of a front wheel and two main wheels attached to struts protruding from the sides of the rear fuselage.

In some aspects, it is almost identical to the hybrid of the light attack aircraft and reconnaissance vehicle OV-10 Bronco and the tiltrotor V-22 Osprey

- it is noted in the edition.

According to the author, although it is not known what kind of power plant this machine has, there are exhaust pipes in the nacelles on the wingtips leading to turbine engines that can drive rotors directly or generate electricity for electric motors that drive these rotors.

As indicated, there is a high probability that the new tiltrotor is equipped with a hybrid-electric SU, in which turbines provide electricity to at least some of the rotors, since the US armed Forces (if they are related to the project at all) are particularly interested in developing this technology.
