National Aviation Hall of Fame Enshrinee Burt Rutan Talks Tiltrotors

National Aviation Hall of Fame enshrinee Burt Rutan talks about his first project, the Chance-Vought/LTV XC-142A and how it compares to the CV-22 Osprey. This was recorded in Feb. of 2019. Rutan is retired American aerospace engineer and entrepreneur noted for his originality in designing light, strong, unusual-looking, and energy-efficient air and space craft. He designed the record-breaking Voyager, which in 1986 was the first plane to fly around the world without stopping or refueling, and the Virgin Atlantic GlobalFlyer, which in 2006 set the world record for the fastest (342 mph/551 km/h in 67 hours) and longest (25,766 miles/41,466 km) nonstop non-refueled circumnavigation flight in history. In 2004, Rutan's sub-orbital spaceplane design SpaceShipOne became the first privately funded spacecraft to enter the realm of space, winning the Ansari X-Prize that year for achieving the feat twice within a two-week period.(Wikipedia)
