A powerful aircraft that could tilt its wings to give it what's called "super short take off and landing." By being able to operate on short, unprepared runways of between 650 to 1,000 feet, it could serve as an alternative to rotor-wing heavy lifters in certain battlefield situations. Powered by four eight-bladed turboprop engines, the aircraft would feature a tailless fuselage with a forward-swept tiltwing arrangement. This configuration would provide the aircraft with the enhanced performance capability for super-STOL. It would have a fuselage cross-section similar to that of the C-17, and the tailless design would provide greater access, allowing operators to vary the size and configuration of cargo. It also could carry up to 80,000 pounds, accommodating two 20-ton Future Combat Systems vehicles—a payload roughly half as many as a C-17 but twice as many as a C-130.
