Fox news;
"From the first days of the Bush administration there has been talk of canceling a number of major aviation projects, including the Marine Corps' V-22 Osprey hybrid helicopter-airplane and the Air Force's F/A-22 Raptor fighter jet, but so far the Comanche has been the only casualty."
This raises the question as to what is the future for VTOL craft, and particularly rotorcraft?
A large portion of current VTOL development is directed at UAVs for small non-transportation craft and at piloted faster craft for transportation operations.

The Comanche may well be the RIP of Igor's tail rotor. Perhaps this is the start of a new generation of rotorcraft.
