Exclamation Mission Performance Vs Survivability

The specifications that the Blackhawk and the Apache were built to in the 1970's were not applied to the V-22 or to the ECP that results in the Bell Super Huey and Super Cobra. I believe that the burden of these requirements would have resulted in a dramatic reduction in mission performance due to empty weight increases. Mission performance trumps survivability in the 21st century.
