Might there be good reason to pursue this, in commercial flights, as a single pilot aircraft? (Thinking economics, not trying to rain on pilot jobs here, please be gentle).

By looking at the aircraft, it seems that the answer is no (need two sets of eyes to keep clearance on two proprotors) and so cost per seat and KM get to be very interesting variables.

(Anyone have any ideas on how the Japanese market for these is shaping up?
