The problems which have been experienced by the V-22 Osprey are a
reminder of one very successful alternative: the Fairey Rotodyne. See:

Very good link, makes you want to cringe at the opportunity that was
missed. Possibly one of the biggest in the history of aviation, and
destroyed not due to technical problems but political interfering. What
a mess and a bloody shame!

I'd forgotten they just broke it up, presumably so they could forget
about it and pretend it never happened.
