Description
A design-Concept for a Quad-Rotor transport aircraft, done as practice. Got inspired to do this after seeing a model of something similar, but wanted to have a realistic take on it. There's also some actual concept-illustrations for designs by Boeing floating around the web, but I only came across those later.I'm a big fan of military aircraft, so this was a lot of fun to do. I still need to practice the technical perspective more though, the rotor-blades were a pain to draw.

Love it! IΒ΄m developing UAVS for life saving missions in Stockholm, Sweden. Right now I doing research for a VTOL ducted fan quad bombplane that will parachute AEDΒ΄s on the countryside of Sweden, to save lives. We got a civil system that engages the public to do CPR at a specific location, and we are building up a civil rescue group. Those organisations reagullary dont have AEDΒ΄s. During this year (2019) the Swedish ambulance are supposed to begin use the AED ambulance drones, but due to the tecnical issu when a drone fails I dont think they will get permission to reach target on the mainland. My work is 100% charity, IΒ΄m doing this for the cause.Β
I love the body of your Quad VTOL 
Really nice! Best regards from Johan, Warpussy Rescueflightstation FoundationΒ

Hey im making a game and it seems that you would be great for drawing vehicles and some UAVS for it. Right now I dont have a budget, but if youre willing to work with me ill give you a percentage pay of the buisness once its done, or pay in any way you choose(not exactly, but im seriously looking and so im really flexible for the pay right now). If you are thinking about this, please email me at moosymantheboss@gmail.com

No, since it's fictional I did not think about actual specifications or the likes.

I think Bell is actually in the early stages of developing a C-130 sized tilt rotor and has been for a while now, so while you may have designed this yourself, the concept isn't fictional per se. Plus, a similar aircraft appeared as a transport in Tom Clancy's EndWar (really underrated game IMO) released back in 2008.
Not trying to be an asshole, this is awesome work, but I felt compelled to bring that up.
Edit: Found it, the Bell-Boeing Quad TiltRotor: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_Boeβ¦

is that an original cockpit design? I feel like I've seen it before somewhere but I can't put my finger on it..

I took inspiration from lots of places...Ch-47 Chinook Helicopters, C-130 Hercules planes...V22 Ospreys....a bit of everything, really.

An excellent conceptualization of a medium sizedΒ VTOL transport. I think that the USMC and Army would like something like this, that could replace a C-130 and carry its same load. The military is looking for a stealth transport, more likely jet, but this would work well on carrier based Marine Expeditionary force operations, especially if it could be scaled up enough to carry a Humvee like vehicle. This is not a criticism simply an observation. I am not an aeronautical engineer, so I am not sure, but don't you think that even with the tilt rotor system you would also need vertical stabilizers and/or rudder systems on the stern? This is an excellent piece of art-work and a great effort. Best of luck on your future endeavors.

Thank you! You do raise some good points and I might revisit the idea at some point. But back when I drew this it was enough of a challenge to get it to look like this, even though it still has some flaws.Β

There's actually been a quad-tiltrotor before. Google Curtiss-Wright X-19.

Looking good!Would you be interested to participate in an innovaive desgin project as an artist?

Thanks! That looks like an interesting project, but I just got hired full-time as a designer and am moving abroad so I have no time to take on more work.

You are flattering me!..)
That's fair enough!Good Luck with your dream-job.You certainly deserve it!

I saw the same thing on 'Act of War: Direct Action'
I think it's called a 'V-44'

This is a great concept. I'd like to see the Chinook be replaced by this.

reminds me of the crafts from Edge of tommorow, Nicely done!

Well, this was inspired by a mix of the Osprey and and some "what if" concept art of realistic quad tiltrotors flying around the internet, Edge of tomorrow didn't even have a trailer out at the time.Β
I'm glad you like it!

Oohh, nice! Love the design of the fuselage--looks big, yet sleek.

Got a couple problems with it though. Β A) the engines seem at big, they look like they are actually sitting on the ground. Β B) I highly doubt the Marines would utilize something so big. Β Maybe as a replacement for their KC-130 tankers but that's about it. Β Still, excellent job!

Thanks!
Blame the engine's appearance on my poorly placed shadow, they have about as much Ground-clearance as the Osprey's when tilted up.Β
As for the size, I intended this to be a replacement for the Superstallions. Of course, how that would fit on an amphibious assault ship is anybody's guess ^^

With as much trouble as they had getting the dual-rotor osprey to work properly, I can only imagine how hard it would be to get this to work. Still a very cool concept and very well drawn.

great I like looking at this on my game called TOM CLANCE ENDWAR FOR THE x-box and I do think the osprey does look kind of cool in the game this one looks better like way better I think ........... yea it does

Yea,got shredded in half down the center,bad design flaw,needs to be thicker between the wings

Yeah, except it had the tail of a normal Osprey.

Osprey has grown! Nice concept!Β
But what about tail unit?

This is an awesome design. Great concept! Nice work.

Thank you! It was inspired by a few concepts I saw floating around the web. Glad you like it!

This is awesome; this looks like the quad tilt-rotor in the Transformers Dark of the Moon movie where Captain Lennox and his crew wing suit into Chicago after Starscream destroys it. Great job!
Β
I look forward to seeing future versions of other modern day military vehicles.

Ooh I'm liking this. Liking this very, very much!

Wings generate lift by moving forward. When the jet-powered VTOL hovers, the wings generate no lift, which would mean the engines have to do it all by thrust alone and that would consume way too much fuel. Rotors make more sense.
