What? Power loading has nothing to do with duct, and duct does not privde a lift. Your “predictions” its hot air without you have some metrics; dimensions, weight. You say turbofan engine yet you talk about power loading, ie shaft power in kW for example…
I can explain to you thoroughly if you just want to read the posts:
Metrics: Size: diameter 18 m, weight 10.433 ton, fuselage area 78 m2, fan area 75 m2, height 2 m.
Power: 2 turbofan engines pneumatically or mechanically coupled with the tip ring of the lift fan.
Control: aerodynamic flight is controlled by the regular control surfaces, hover or transition attitude is controlled by the vectored jet.
Yaw torque is eliminated by two counter rotating fans. Pitching and rolling torques are eliminated by vectored jet during transition.
Power loading has a lot to do with the lift generated from duct. If you didn’t know this, you wouldn’t know ducted fan.
