Why stuck- and slingwings shouldn't be alone in the same hangar overnight

This joke just kind of popped into my head when I saw the picture

But seriously, this concept isn't something new, not even for Sikorsky, however what do you guys/gals think, could it work and is it just as complex as the Osprey as one commentator in the above link stated?

i've seen the U.S Army try that before with a attack helicopter in the 70's i think it was before the apache appeared.

I'm wondering if the trailing-blade-stall-problem could be solved by  using either a K-MAX style intermeshing rotor design or a pair of coaxial rotors.
Of course you would have to develop a new fuselage but with the center of gravity on that might be necessary anyway.

Is it just me or is this indeed an autogyra

[Oddball]

correct me if im wrong but a auto gyro has a engine to power the propeller only and the rotors are free spinning to create the lift.
