Tiltrotors can transition from vertical to horizontal flight, allowing them to achieve speeds reached by fixed-wing aircraft, making them ideal for missions requiring rapid transport.

Tiltrotors can travel longer distances without refueling compared to other types of rotorcraft, enabling rapid deployment of forces over long distances, enhancing flexibility in responding to global threats or crises, and supporting sustained operations in remote or contested regions.

Tiltrotors combine the vertical takeoff and landing capabilities of helicopters with the speed and efficiency of fixed-wing aircraft, which increases operational flexibility and accessibility to remote or congested areas. They can perform a wide range of missions, including passenger transport, cargo delivery, search and rescue, aerial firefighting, military operations, and offshore operations.

Tiltrotors typically consume less fuel and operate at lower costs than helicopters of similar size and capability. Their ability to transition between vertical and horizontal flight modes allows for more efficient fuel use during different phases of flight.
