Default RE: Where are the VTOL's

You say the difficulty is in the transition. What are the few successful designs we have now using for the transition mechanism? I have seen some designs that use modified Heli frames but are they fixed or on a swivel? And am I right in saying any VTOL design capable of vertical lift has more than adequate power for forward flight even with decreased wing area?
