Very interesting posts on here, spent a lot of time reading them, but just one question keeps popping into my mind, if some one can answer without shooting me that is...

Why use props...could the same not be achieved with simple jets, it would remove all that heavy hardware on the ends of the wing tips and would be lighter to swivel rather than moving all that spinning prop system ? or is it redundancy and getting back down under control,..
