Sans,
No probs.
My current favourite contender for most innovative compound aircraft is this beauty.

I really hope they develop this into a production aircraft. Its not as simple as a tip jet type or plain gyro, but it looks awesome; and it shifts. One wonders if they are using some of the Carter technology under licence, like the slowed rotor.

Cheers now
