A few more images of that model of the ZN-1 electric tiltrotor.

Hobbyists who make tiltrotor RC aircraft very often face a death spin that occurs when the rotor is tilted from helicopter to airplane position. Anybody know why this happens?

Software issues? It could be that the software used to control them arent designed for tiltrotos. Could also be due to asymmetric thrust. I havent seen anyone have that issue though. Generally to mitigate that issue, tiltrotos gain some horizontal speed to give the control surfaces some control before fully transitioning fully to horizontal flight.

Is this real or just fan-art? Never heard of this company! ... and how large is "large" in that case?

From a company group that is completely independent from AVIC.
Although it is still a state-owned enterprise (mostly)but the shareholding structure is as complex as a spider net
I suspect it’s just a capital game
I would rather see the Blue Whale that appeared with the Z20 concept model 17 years ago has any news

The company is real. It's the maker of TD-220 UAV, among other products.
