Super sonic Could a tilt rotorquadcopter use turbofan engines?

I was wondering whether having a quad tiltrotor would allow for the use of turbofan engine rather than turbo prop. I read on another question that the v22V-22 uses turbo prop as it is easier to balance, but if there were 4 turbofans then it could surely balance and with the engines closer. Could a turbofan tilt rotor be possible for supersonicssupersonic speeds and vtolVTOL? And would tilt rotor or tilt wing be better in this application? Also wouldn't turbo fan mean they'rethere isn't the stream to worry about between sets of motors?
