So, given we have helicopters and the Osprey, what is your USP?

The mono design is fantastic engineering, but can your design offer something not covered by either helicopters or conventional tilt rotors?

I can see potential disadvantages compared to the osprey - central location of the tilt mechanism makes locating the pilot interesting, the twin rotor is more complex engineering than the osprey - but not clear to me the advantages. Do you think it will be cheaper, or have more lift capacity, or less maintenance?
