Tiltjet
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
A tiltjet aircraft[1] is similar in concept to a tiltrotor design. Whereas a tiltrotor utilises rotors, the tiltjet employs jet engines with the entire propulsion system being rotated from axial to dorsal in order to achieve a transition from hover or vertical flight to horizontal.[2] They are typically fully capable of VTOL operations.[citation needed]
