Army Blackhawk Helicopter Replacement

"The Army has selected the replacement for the Blackhawk. A tiltrotor similar to the Osprey but with fixed engines. Only the props rotate. That will be an interesting gearbox."

The info can be found at the Army recognition website.

Given the issues with the Osprey it will be interesting to see how reliable this bird will be in actual use.
 
Can it auto-rotate like a helicopter? Can one engine run both props?
