The CV-22 Osprey is a special operations variant of the MV-22, currently used by the Marines. The aircraft has the unique ability to takeoff, land and hover like a helicopter, and it can tilt its propellers to fly like a conventional, prop-driven aircraft.

Im more excited to see the civilian version of it. I recall they published some photos of it, Looked thinner and less powerful engines compared to the military-versions..
