The article may well need to be de-merged at some point, but I don't beielve it will be in the next 4-5 years. With as much touble as opponents of the V-22 (for "saftey reasons") have given, I can't see a QTR being developed for the military any time soon. Ten-20 years from now, it's quite possible though. - [[User:BillCJ|BillCJ]] 18:33, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
 
I don't think it should be merged, at this point there are to many others. Would that mean lumping the XV-15 the V-22 and the BA-609 as well as this aircraft all on one page? Each of these aircraft has its own merits. While it's true that this aircraft, probably will not exist as a even a prototype for at least 10 more years I think it still deserves a page. Plus it definately has merit as the most original and fastest of the jhl concepts. {{unsigned|128.205.25.75}}
 
:If you want to vote against the merger, you should place '''Oppose:''', a short reason, and your signature in the above section.
 
:The XV-15, V-22, and BA609 are each covered in depth in their own articles, because they are actual designs that have been flown. That's also why they are mentioned in this article, but there are not entries on them as such, just a list to their articles. We aren't talking about merging those articles in here, just the one on the Quad Tiltrotor. In addition, the QTR is not yet an aircraft, even on paper; it's just a concept, and as a tilt-rotor concept, I believe it deserves lengthy coverage here. Once there is greater commitment to designing and building an actual QTR, then by all menas that actual design should get its own article.
 
:I agree with you on the JHL, but is there even an article on the JHL here yet? I haven't come across it as yet if there is one. Because it covers a wide range of technologies, a good article would be worth having. It could cover some of your points on the QTR that might not fit here. But as far as I know, right now the JHL isn't really active, though DARPA is testing various high-speed vertical lift concepts for later application, including in the JHL program. - [[User:BillCJ|BillCJ]] 04:47, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
