      A coaxial tilt rotor, at that. Maybe it can cause twice the accidents then.

        Using an existing engine from a fixed wing aircraft that can’t autorotate, meaning an engine failure anywhere other than forward cruise would be fatal.

    Russia is doing a fine job of getting their troops killed without having to deploy a Tiltrotor. Checkmate, Westoids
