Chance-Vought/LTV XC-142A

With the wings tilted up, an XC-142A took off and landed like a helicopter. The wings could be tilted forward to provide the speed of a fixed-wing aircraft. The engines were linked together so that a single engine could turn all four propellers and the tail rotor (the tail rotor provided pitch control while in vertical flight). (U.S. Air Force photo)
