Hardly the layman's question. It is likely a very real question for the FVL effort, as these are to be tactical combat rotorcraft. It is apparently an important enough question that Bell had a rug of a UH-60 overall size made to place their V-280 mockup on. Likewise the grey matting when they put the mock-up under a tent. They will point out no doubt that their design is shorter in length and something like three feet wider per side (six feet total). If the Karem design is ~80-85 ft wide then I would think it might have an impact to those making decisions.Then again JMR is a technology assessment more akin to an X-plane. So I would imagine that technology maturation may be as big a decision point as tactical viability.
