Has too big a visual signature to be effective on the battlefield plus more moving parts than a normal helicopter or plane thus more can go wrong.  The idea and the engineering are bloody briliant though :y

I seem to remember something similar developed in the UK in the 50s.
It wasn't http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairey_Rotodyne
I don't think
Feint recollections of it being parked in the open in Southampton in the 60s outside the ATC hut in Marlands area
Ring bells anyone??
