Provided there are no Bad Guys where you are going....or where you land...anyway!
What happens when your Intel is wrong....as it has been known to be completely wrong?
Sas,
You are right, but that applies to both helicopters and tiltrotors alike. The point is that tiltrotors can in fact get in and out faster and more quietly. The debate comes down to whether or not that additional capability is worth the very high price increase. The USMC after their experience in Iraq and Afghanistan have answered with a resounding positive vote.
