China’s Lanying R6000, a six-ton tiltrotor aircraft developed by United Aircraft, has completed its maiden flight in Sichuan, marking a major advance in tiltrotor technology and representing the world’s first large-scale industrial solution of its kind.

How is it different than the v22 osprey ?
Looks a local record...
'Unlike aircraft such as the V-22 (where the entire engine nacelle rotates), the R6000 uses a system in which only the shaft/rotor tilts, keeping the engine fixed. This reduces:
vertical exhaust heating, risks of deteriorating structural integrity near the cabin, and operational problems during landings/takeoffs in confined environments". [Source: ChatGPT by 'eVTOL News']
"This concept is more similar to the V-280 Valor (tilting rotor without rotating the entire nacelle), but the implementation and integration with Chinese systems is a local advancement". [Source: ChatGPT by 'Asian Military Review']
