These figures are approximate for the V-22, and assuming an average blade chord of 2.5 ft, give a total rotor area of 2268sq.ft, and a blade area of appx 270 sq.ft,. At a MAUW of 57000 lb. that is appx 25 lb/sq.ft for area loading and about 211 lb/sq.ft blade loading.
For a Long-ranger at 4200 lb the figures are 4 lb, and 108 lb/sq.ft.
Be a bit like kissing a ducks arse at the flare!!!.
