Once off the ground, thanks to the rotation of its engines, it flies like a normal plane, reaching the speed & range hitherto unheard of for a traditional chopper. The V-22 is set to replace the old CH-46s as a transport & assault aircraft for the Marines, & in future, it will be used for the Special Forces. aviation too.
