And there was a military version with rear clam shell doors which could carry vehicles... I wonder why the government of the day didn't get behind it? Things like this beggar belief.

Yes! Islip and/or Newark connections for JFK over the ocean. Put amphibious floats on it and serve Atlantic City, the Hamptons and Cape Cod. Any coastal place now served by a helipad. Same would go for jungles. I believe the (or one) 'proof of concept ' prototype flew with ignition at the tips at first. But that was the two-blade incarnation and I believe it crashed(?) My memory is sketchy but this may explain why so many think it did have tip combustion.

Apparently it was to be jointly developed for /with the military,but they pulled out,leaving r+d to civil funding..(another youtube vid shows one positioning a large bridge section,so was versatile!) the noise of the tip jets was said to be a deciding issue,equated to as loud as a DC-8(?),but only in landing/t/o phase,not a factor in flight..I liked the direct to 3 Euro city hop inside 3 hours demo,faster than alternatives+ conventional air transport..

The short answer would be No...the main rotor would provide lift in flight through autorotation..

nice I have a question, this heli can stop completly the main rotor when goes flying horizontal?

Looks far more safer and stable than the Osprey. Probably cheaper to build also. Sometimes newer isn't always better.
