OK, now I notice the link.
On further inspection it looks pretty hokey. The video show it transitioning from upward to forward flight in a pretty unbelievable, unacomplishable way. speed, rudder, and elevator being it's only means of transitioning from helicopter to airplane mode makes this very limited in function. It's basically a rocket with a prop. This is what makes the Osprey a valid vehicle. The only benefit to the whole contraption is it would (sorta) have STOL capabilities. But transitioning for, and controlling where you land would be a b!tch.
