Bell already did something along those lines with the XV-3, although admittedly, the powerplant was in the fuselage, a configuration Boeing also looked at for their original Tilt-Rotor design for LHX. 


Interestingly enough, the configuration used in the V-280 is the same one Boeing used for their Model 222 proposal (picture stolen from Stingray's site), Whig lost to Bell's Model 301 for the XV-15 program .
