I think it's a beautiful looking piece of kit - although in the video I saw recently it looks very, very odd with it's forward intake open (which opened like an air brake on the model I saw, while earlier prototypes opened like bomb bay doors and looked a lot more aerodynamic)..

Still, 'bout time we had a new VSTOL aircraft.
