New Euro multicopter aims bitchslap at American X2, V-22

FAIL

You have got to be kidding me

Really, this piece of backyard shite is supposed to "bitchslap " the Osprey? Like Dan said, they are completely missing the point:

"...it carries very little extra equipment..." The Osprey is capable of both horizontal and vertical takeoff, flight, and landing (eliminating the need for flight lines) for the primary purpose of transporting troops and equipment. It provides the capacity of a C-130 along with the maneuverability of a heli.

this is an epic fail

Here are just a few more reasons why the Europeans will be eating our contrails for the next century:
