That's a fair question, Shawn. I imagine that rotodyne will be a favourite, although tip jets would not meet emissions or noise regulations in place now. Are you considering more autogyros or STOL fixed wing? In fairness to Nick, we should not overlook the potential of tiltrotor for STOL, despite it's high disk loading for VTOL.

Perhaps another question should be: how much more would i willing to pay to minimise my runway length?
