300 Kts Sans Doors Sansanhedral :-)

Perhaps the added drag from not having doors is not the negative the aero guys thought? So for production the V-280 can dispense with actuated doors and save cost, weight, and improve reliability.

FYI. The reused Cessna Citation gear used on the V-280 also did not have actuated doors.
