I don't know about other uses, but some kind of light, small design could have been quite useful for escort duty in Afghanistan. It wouldn't even need to have proper control in a hover, just very good stoll capabilities.Note: I'm not arguing that it is a real design - I'm just arguing that it isn't necessarily a stupid or implausible layout, even for a tilt-rotor.</blockquote>
