Unlike Helicopters, Tiltrotors Have Wings

That’s all
BTW you are still going to need fuel, etc to fly its mission.
Unpressurized Tiltrotors like the V-22 can fly at 20,000 ft with pilot oxygen. The pressurized 609 does 25,000 ft without pilot oxygen.

Fuel can always be trucked in to remote areas.
