about the only use I can envisage is tourist trips, but is there really a market big/rich enough to support this? Helo charters are pretty cheap and much more personal.
EC225s are dead.
Nobody has suggested replacing V22 except you a couple of times.
V22 is incredibly niche and incredibly expensive hence zero civil versions.
Skycrane role maybe.
Helo charters are never going to get cleared into the same areas as a blimp.
