The link above says that the V22 can carry 6,000 pounds for 1,100 miles. It also says that the range of V22 with the F-35 power module without its storage container is up to 1,000 miles. It looks as though the F-35 power module is slightly over 6,000 pounds.


Apparently the weight of the F-35 power module in its storage container is 9,350 pounds.
