I have heard dabbling's into a tilt rotor with a lifting body... but aside from racing FPV tilt rotor drones I have not seen anything really come to fruition.
I would think, a tilt rotor quad with a flat lifting body and the arms would have a lifting airfoil that, at least for forward flight, you could increase the flight time significantly. I'm not talking about a VTOL fixed wing, which there are many, but a high efficiency quad.
Anyone out there seen anything like I am describing? I would be interested in seeing any ideas out there.
