Answer: AV-8 Harrier II jet is one. V-22 Osprey is a Tilt-rotor craft that flies in both Helicopter mode and aircraft mode by titling its engines/rotors. It just went operational last year.

Why the colour of a crane is yellow?
Not all cranes are coloured yellow. The reason is that yellow stands out. Lets say this crane is near an airport and there is a low flying plane coming in to land, it is easier for the plane to see this crane. There are other reasons like for design reasons.
What is the difference between the flight of a plane and a helicopter?
Both use the pressure difference caused by air moving over the wings at different speeds to generate lift; a plane by moving those wings in the direction of travel, a helicopter by spinning the "wings" around at high speed. This requies that the plane be in constant forward motion in order for the wings to make lift. Thus airplanes must roll along the runaway to take-off. A helicopter cant take off at zero forward speed and hover at zero forward speed. The helicopter can land and take off vertically. Thus, they are good for landing in unimproved spots such as done by air ambulances.
Who is the inventor of plane?
The first plane to fly over land was co-invented by brothers Wilbur and Orville Wright, better known as 'The Wright Brothers'. I'm afraid I can't recall the exact date of the first flight but I do recall their first flight to last more than 5 minutes occured in 1904.
What is plane surveying?
There are two general types of land surveying: plane and geodetic. Plane surveying considers the earth to be a flat surface--a plane, which works well for jobs spanning a short distance (a few miles), because calculations are relatively simple. Surveys of this nature account for much of survey work being done. Geodetic surveying takes into account the true shape of the earth. These surveys are usually of a very large scale and most often performed by government agencies. GPS is capable of automatically giving geodetic positions (within certain qualifiers), though a thorough understanding of the principals of geodesy is necessary to adequately design and conduct a geodetic survey.
Can a boeing777 land on autopilot?
YES! ANY modern airliner can land on autopilot as long as the airport has a ILS (instrument Landing System) The pilot/s would tune in the ILS frequency to NAV 1 module and then engage autopilot and select the APP or APR button, this will keep the plane on the connrect glideslope and flightpaff. all the pilotsb have to do is adjust power acordingly and operate the flaps
What unique tricks can a harrier plane perform?
It can take off and land vertically. It can hover like a helicopter, fly sideways or backwards.
How is the helicopter different from other flying machines?
Helicopters can land and takeoff vertically and also hover in flight. Winged aircraft can not do these things.
How come helicopters take off vertically?
Well, they don't always. The advantage of the design of the helicopter is that it CAN take-off and land vertically and does not require a long runway. That allows it to delivery injured patients directly to the roof of a hospital. Many helicopter are equipped with small wheels that allow it to taxi. This also allows them to take-off and land with some roll. When a helicopter is heavily loaded, it usually takes off by at an angle and not vertically. This also allows the pilot to watch for other traffic. VTOL or Vertical Take Of and Landing was developed to provide access to any remote or space limited landing zone.
Can you build a plane with normal propellers and with a helicopter rotor blade together and use it lift of the ground and then fly like a normal plane?
What you're talking about really isn't feasible. The closest thing you'll find to it is the V-22 Osprey, which uses counter-rotating propellers, and can only take off and land vertically.
What three unique tricks can a harrier plane perform?
Hover, take off or land vertically, and fly sideways and backward.
When there is a tornado at a school where does a helicopter land?
The helicopter would most likely land and a field or some other flat area that is relatively free of debris.
Can you get to Krakatoa by plane?
You can get close to it, but there is no place on Krakatoa, now called Anak Krakatau to land one. The island is accessible by boat and perhaps by helicopter.
What air craft is a helicopter that can turn into a propeller airplane after takeoff?
A VTOL (Vertical Take Off and Landing) aircraft is one that can takeoff and land like a helicopter, but fly like a plane. A good example is the V-22 Osprey.
How do you land the helicopter on Grand Theft Auto Liberty City Stories?
first plan where to land and then slow down your helicopter's speed and press R3 which works for the landing gear and then you can easily land the helicopter.
How much area do you need to rope off to land a helicopter?
Depends how big a helicopter.
What three unique tricks can a harrier do?
Take off vertically, land vertically, and hover in mid-air
What is the purpose of a helipad?
The purpose of a helipad (helicopter landing pad) is to provide a safe place in a city's environment for a helicopter to land. Helipads are commonly found on top of hospitals and other buildings.
