Yeah...it's not like a VSTOL jet at all. Trying to perfect the engineering aspects of going from helicopter to plane would be a huge undertaking to say the least. I'm glad they saw the potential with this. Granted, I don't know the lift capabilities as compaired to the blackhawk, but maybe the army might get an interest in this after seeing it's track record.
