  • The show's name was It'll Never Work, it was a UK kids show on the BBC which showcased inventions including daft ones from the past that never worked.

  • The XV-15 did work. The Osprey works but as of 2010 it requires more maintenance than a Chinook for example. The simplest tiltrotor invented to date is the tilt rotor variable pitch range free wing. The new design requires no mechanism to tilt the rotor, as it transitions through cyclic flapping.

  • why does the heading say it will never work??
