Westland WG.22

Lighter-Than-Air Craft and Rotorcraft

The Westland WG.22 was a proposed tiltwing convertiplane transport aircraft concept designed by Westland Aircraft in 1968. It was to be powered by four turboshaft engines. The design never moved past the concept stage: the article records its status as abandoned and no examples were built. Its article points readers to three other tiltwing projects as see-also entries, the Canadair CL-84 Dynavert, the Hiller X-18 and the LTV XC-142, which places the WG.22 among the vertical takeoff transport studies of the period rather than among Westland's helicopters that entered service.
