Is it an optical illusion or is it incapable of landing as an airplane?

In an emergency, it can land in that configuration, and the rotors will disintegrate on impact.

The V-22 can perform a rolling landing or takeoff with the nacelles tilted at between a 15 and 45 degree angle.

Nice video. It looked like it leaped off the runway.
