So what?

V-22 Osprey

Mission Radius (with internal and external load of 20,000kgs including fuel and crew) 0 kms

Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey
Empty weight: 15,032 kg
Loaded weight: 21,500 kg
Max. takeoff weight: 27,400 kg (self-deploy/long runway)
Maximum rolling takeoff weight: 25,855 kg (STOL)
Maximum vertical takeoff weight: 23,859 kg
Subtracting the empty weight from the max takeoff weight, I make that a maximum payload of 12,368 kg at best which is nowhere near 20,000 kg.

Can we stop discussing specious requirements now?
