Why is the rotormast V-22 Osprey so fast?
In airplane mode with rotor pylons in the horizontal position, the V-22 is very fast because similar to a full-size V-22, the aircraft has a small wing with minimal surface area which results in a very high wing loading. This high wing loading requires the model to maintain a fast airspeed to generate sufficient lift to stay afloat.
