Tiltwing Airliner
The only quadriprop tiltwing aircraft built and fly tested was the LTV XC-142, a mid-1960s prototype for a future Assault Transport, so with a line closer to a cargo ship than to the slender lines of a commuter.
This (unknown -to me-) project seems to wear the Short Brothers logo (as used during the sixties). Is it the Short S.43 SA5 (1950s project only) ?

Bad mood
In the Experimental Aircraft and Projects section (line 85 to 96) of this film, not a word about the Sud Aviation Caravelle! As if second-rate airplane? it's not very fair play. First flight in 1955, the world's first mass-produced civil twin-jet, it had the characteristic, innovative for the time, of having the engines placed at the rear of the fuselage and not in the wings as for the Comet, or in sub-salary nacelles as is the case for the Boeing 707. A configuration that was later retained in many aircraft and regional jets. It seems to me that this aircraft has contributed more to the history of aviation than the Bristol Britannia or the Lockheed Electra for instance...
