In case you were unable to guess which “plane” the Belgian publisher Wilco is working on, it’s the Bell-Agusta BA-609 Tiltrotor. The BA609 is a tiltrotor, meaning it can take off and land like a helicopter and cruise with the speed of a regular airplane, kinda like the harrier, but with propeller engines instead of a jet engine. Further details on this product are currently unknown, but we will keep you updated. Also if you did enter their contest, and you think you’ve got the right answer, they will announce the winners and more product details later this month on their site.
