Apparently no one can do math on this forum.

The Osprey carries 5 times more than the 46 it replaced so longer times to load. It gets where their going twice as fast and then takes a little bit longer than a 46 to unload (easier going downhill). So if you allow a conservative multiplier of 3 in efficiency the equivalent ground time relative to helicopters based upon productivity is 13%.
