X2 has already demonstrated the ability to hover in flight test.
Much better to stop then land, than land then stop...
When X2 does what it was designed to do i have no doubt that the world will beat a path to Sikorsky/Schweizers door. Take a good design concept, identify the limitations, and evolve the concept. Sounds like a recipe for success to me - i'll certainly be excited when that magic 250kts is reached!
