Considering all the 'fun' the Osprey had, this isn't all that
surprising. Afterall, it's completely new technology - tiltrotor isn't
even in the common vernacular for most people in aviation circles yet;
let alone in common 'everyday' use. It will take time for this type of
aircraft to be accepted. When it is, I believe it will replace aircraft
like the Sikorsky S-76 and King Air.
