It seems the former can deliver appreciably more cargo at long range, with the advantage of being able to land direct on the 'phibs. Handy if your broken F-135 is on an LHA or LHD.....http://navalaviationnews.navylive.do...s-golden-mile/


If a naval power only had VTOL capable fleet carriers the CMV-22B would seem to be a sensible option......
