Read the last part of my second sentence from the post you responded to. Or maybe even better, read whole second sentence. And than let it sink.
If there is only one existing operational tiltrotor, that's what we will use as a measuring tool.
And I never said that V-280 can't do those things ( what I said in aforementioned post was more of making a point than stating a fact). And my post was in response to CTR who asked "why do tiltrotor bashers always compare it with conventional helicopter? It's so much faster, but if it needs to hover, we'll disregard that part of comparison." If it can hover, great, it will be worthy successor. And we just asked if it can hover as good as a conventional helicopter, we never said that it can't.
