All right.

I did my best, but cannot find inthe web.

I saw a small pic in the Poplar Mechanics I was reading earlier today.
{ see other post} and saw an aircraft under development.

Since I can't qute direct, I'm not giong guess by who.

But.

Picture this. it's similar to a V-22, but a tad larger, and has the addition of a gyrocopter rotor in addition to the tiltrotors.
this would seem to adress the autorotation agenda quite nicely.
It's funtion, among other things, was the proper performance of at-sea replenishment.

I imagine it would kick up a mightty dust storm at Groom.

{thereby almost making this on-topic}
