The osprey and BA609 acheive lift by means of two rotating wings like a chinook. so my thought is it is a helo not a powered lift vehicle. The BA609 news release even says it takesoff and lands like a helo.

The space shuttle takes off by rocket power but lands as a glider so I would discount it also.

What is Dave B? un familiar
