You are thinking of the larger V22 Osprey.

This is basically a tilt rotor Blackhawk.

This concept of hybrid helicopter airplane came to my mind recently by moving rotating fans from vertical to horizobtal but in this world we have no such avenue to convey innovatinve thoughts to defense research authority as they only require phd scholars for that but I have no such educational background

This isn't something new. Bell has been making tilt-rotors since the 1950's

Even though they were used in 1950 but they have not properly utilized this idea other wise we would have vertical takeoff and landing commercial planes by now I think if more such rotary fans are attached on wings of large aircraft like c130 that will help in vertical take off.In airplane its better implication is vtol

We do
AgustaWestland AW609
As far as according to my little knowledge this use is only limited and the plane supplied by boeing to different airlines are not using it and also most of cargo aircraft use normal runway takeoff or landing

I asked the V22 osprey team at Farnborough air show that why they couldn't sell a single unit abroad?
They said its due to American government policies that they didnt make much money out of V22..
So i am wondering what Bell as a private business will get out of this innovation?
