MV-22B Osprey (4)
For storage onboard US Navy aircraft carriers or amphibious assault ships, the MV-22B is capable of being put into a ‘compact storage configuration’. Like almost all US Navy and Marine Corps rotorcraft, the blades fold in for easier storage. However, a unique feature to the Osprey is the ability for the wing structure to completely rotate, reducing the space the aircraft takes up on the deck or hanger by more than 60%.

Huge props to Ralph, as I lifted the design for the folding propellers from his Osprey.
