Which aircraft is known for having a rotating wing that allows it to transition from helicopter to airplane mode?

Tiltrotor aircraft, like the V-22 Osprey, have rotors mounted on rotating nacelles at the ends of fixed wings, allowing them to take off and land vertically like a helicopter and fly forward like an airplane. This unique capability makes them highly versatile for military and civilian operations, combining the vertical lift of helicopters with the speed and range of fixed-wing planes. Tiltrotors are particularly useful in areas with limited runway space, as they can operate in confined environments while still achieving high-speed travel.
