    They’re faster than any conventional helicopter, right?

      Yes, but slower and less range than fixed wing. Likewise, it can’t do rotary wing things as good as a helicopter. It’s truly a “master of none” aircraft. It’s not great at anything.

      Putting it in a rescue role is a terrible idea. You do not want a finicky to fly, unreliable aircraft in that scenario.
