Source? I haven’t seen any public info on the V-280’s weights, except for a single old (2016) article that mentioned a 38,000lb rolling take off. Since then the engines have been uprated and are now the same as the V-22’s which is not a good sign (Defiant-X has seen weight growth too from the 32,000lb demonstrator).Here’s the old article.Basically all the potential designs are 30,000lb+, probably in the mid-30k lbs range… which is exactly what Airbus is saying.
