So what happens if you come in to land and your "Angle The Blades to the Overhead" system fails? Does a guy in the back have to pull out a manual jack handle and start winding for half an hour?!

No ,come to the vertical hover ,like a Chinook,then back down and rest on the bits at the back...climb out and let the `gingers` sort it out.....

Have never seen the proprotors in that position on the ground before. It seems like an accident waiting to happen, with someone inadvertently firing them up without checking. One thing is for sure....only one engine will be started before they tweak to their mistake! |

If you get in that thing and don't notice where the props are, you really shouldn't be flying anything!

Starting THAT in that mode would be a little more than a mistake, and I would go so far as to say not only should they not be flying or starting it, they shouldn't be allowed anywhere near it!

Probably on a par with walking out to a helicopter and starting it with the blades folded! Would imagine the Osprey design won't permit it to happen when in that position.
