Probably a lot longer than you're indicating (or that you
know!)...it seems most odd that it's NEVER mentioned in any info
I've seen but this aircraft was designed and flown by Canadair in
Montreal in the EARLY SIXTIES!...it was known as the CL-84
Dynavert. First flew in 1965.

Nope, the Dynavert rotated its wings out of the way of the prop airflow
for greater efficiency, so it was a completely different design.

No it didn't, it worked exactly like the V-22, both engines were
mounted on the wings which tilted up to the vertical...take a
look at the URL I supplied...
