    Yes, it is actually explicitly stated in the upload guidelines, that V-22 and other tilt rotors and also Gyro-copters are considered to be helicopters.
    "Helicopter
    To be used for helicopters. Tiltrotors and gyrocopters are considered helicopters. The V-22 Osprey falls under the Helicopter category."

        And IMHO, it's not technically correct : helicopters are defined as spinnig-wings aircrafts. The V22 is clearly a fixed wing aircraft and needs no lifting rotor for horizontal flight. This rule should be revisited...
