I guess we may find out with Sikorsky looking at the coaxial configuration again. Will they have the same crew issues with a high speed rotorcraft?

My understanding is that there is no conversion with that Sikorsky coaxial. It is always a rotorcraft, it just goes like the blazes. And, with the little I know about disk loading, wing loading, inertia, vortex ring state, and autorotation, I'd rather keep my family out of tiltrotors in general.
