[RideTheWind]

Anyone know of videos of the Osprey on the net, like to see it do its thing, looks awsome http://www.airliners.net/open.file/1075140/L/

I wonder how well those things fly in the "fixed wing" configuration shown in the linked picture above when they lose an engine.

I'm curious if they have enough rudder authority to counteract the adverse yaw.

I think both prop/rotors are linked together via a central gear box, so a single engine will power both sides.

Yes they are. I do not know what the drift down is on SE though.
