And may be it was this aircraft.

I don't think hesham's picture displays the BV-160 at all, personally.
 
My guess is that there are three different Boeing Vertol tilt rotor designs above. The first small crude picture resembles the 222, which was Boeing's proposal for the NASA-Army Tilt Rotor Research Aircraft program that resulted in the Bell Helicopter XV-15. It combined a Boeing tilt rotor wing/propulsion system with a Mitsubishi MU-2 fuselage. The combat rescue artists concept is similar to the 222 but probably a bit larger with a new fuselage. The wind tunnel picture appears to be a much larger transport-class aircraft with a T tail and is presumably the BV 160 since the caption identifies it as such.

I would tend to think like you, except the first pic is ALSO labeled "Model 160"... Mind you, there could be a whole array of very different-looking designs under the same generic project number, Boeing are very good at that...

You can say that again!
 
Finally, a clear picture of what the Vertol 160 (Boeing BV-160) design looked like. Basically, a tilt-rotor with a Chinook-like fuselage.

So BV 160 looks like what happens if you take a CH-47 fuselage and put a tilt rotor on it.

I think so,my dear Yasotay.
