The Marana crash involved a former KC-130R pilot who had little experience in rotary-wing flight.

I'm just a factual contributing messenger that offered no commentary whatsoever.

The "V-44" appears to be an add on (next generation) of the V-22. I see no reasonable argument against getting it (the V-22) working properly and in usable production before even considering expending any valuable resources on a follow-up aircraft.

Just MHO.
