Sikorsky would like this design to replace the V-22. The V-22 can cruise at over 300Kts which gives it an advantage in the cargo-delivered-to-objective metric but if an X-2 design could be built for a lot less money than a V-22 it might be a bargain.

But the marines will still prefer the "cool factor" of the V-22 I suspect.
