With a single refueling it will be able to fly 3380km. Its empty weight is just over 14880kg. The rotor diameter is a large 11.6m, with an overall fuselage length of about 17.4m. With the rotors in the take-off position, the height of the vehicle is just over 6m. The width of the vehicle, with the rotors turning, is almost 26m.
Lateral attitude is maintained by differential rotor thrust.
Once the V-22 achieves horizontal flight, the engines have assumed a position parallel to the fuselage. This maneuver is accomplished by tilting the rotors back past the 90-degree vertical position. Such a capability might someday provide a useful combat tactic. Since the V-22 will be operating in a combat environment at least a portion of the time, the plane's design has taken the situation into account. There are redundant systems, along with armor, in critical areas.
