Also from NASA LARC OF 1960,

That's right my dear Yasotay,

but the third Model was a mystery ?.

 

[AeroFranz]

I think that was a generic wind tunnel model to test different solutions on a 4-engine tilt-wing.

OK my dear AeroFranz,

but please don't forget there was a similar design for Vertol.
