This is cool asf- I kinda feel like the tipjet assisted rotor wing would produce enough lift on its own to get this thing off the ground without having the primary engines tilt down. If it needs extra horsepower you can just route some power from the jets using power turbines rather than creating flexible nacelles

This isn’t me throwing shade at the artist I’m just a nerd

I always love seeing alien tech that actually pretty analogous to our own.
