its a good idea in theory, but then it will have the same problems where the osprey has now, (changing from VTOL to normal plane operations) if they manage to fix that then yeah it will be a great idea, AC130 but with VTOL

I thought they did fix the Osprey, as it is in service now?

It is, the marines love it. Although the project was several years late and way over-budget.

well the problem is that to change without problems it has to be high enough, cause of an inherent air flow problem when changing, which causes no air flow to hit the prop's
