...As evidenced by the fact that we're already using 5,000 shp class engines for a platform with a 12-seat cabin. It'll be interesting to see what cabin size is eventually settled upon for FVL-M. As mentioned previously in this thread, some of the FVL squad sizing AoAs - especially those incorporating the use of exoskeletons - have pointed at something far larger than even the JMR AVDs.
