I am writing a novel (third in trilogy) based around 2013-2015 where a Corporation is utilising a pair of civilianised V-22’s for medium VTOL transport, where as previously Chinooks have been used. I know US equipment is a bit expensive but I don’t think that is an issue for the story.
The V-22’s are sort of styled on the MV-22 with the ability to use hoist and licensed bits of kit for expedition requirements in a hostile world environment.
I’m curious to know – how many MV-22’s could you fit (fully packed) into an Antonov An-124?
I would also be interested to know what was the other Boeing/Bell design for a smaller tilt-rotor aircraft for the executive transport market.
