There is nothing about massive about both V-280 is the only real option for the FLRAA as the USMC, USAF and USN has demonstrated the effectiveness of tiltrotors The Army is only one not onboard with tilt rotors The S-97 is unlikely to win unless they improve its payload

No so sure The applications , or rather the actual real world application is advanced propulsion for travel to Mars Travel is currently impractical due to current level of space propulsion Such a system could in theory shorten travel times

@jamesmaddison4546 Exactly why the current level of propulsion is not feasible. It requires Mars and Earth to be in optimal positions which is not feasible Feasible would be 7 months 3 months there 1 month stay and months return regardless of the planet positions . The ship would only have carry 14 months of supplies A 2 year mission would require 4 years worth of supplies The problem with pre supplying is that you don't have any control over it. Now after the crew has left, you can start sending additional supplies so can build up a surplus so future missions can more equipment to expand the base

Fusion power for aircraft dates back to earliest days of nuclear power, its wasn't feasible then or now As for Macross and Gundam Fusion power is the only realistic power source for both if you tried to build it real world Gasaraki TA very much realistic as they had very limited operational time of just 60 minutes and even with upgraded power cells, its still just 36 hours They had no over tech weapon, just basic auto cannons and missiles and even the model equipped with a rail gun still require a lot of time between shots

Fusion powered aircraft just sounds incredibly dangerous as far as safety goes

@jamesmaddison4546 The current of tech means that trip will take months The problem there is that requires a lot of fuel and resources Keeping them alive is simple task of designing a ship with proper shielding which again goes back to propulsion Ample shielding is going to be a lot mass and in case of solar activity, they will need hardened shelters Thats a lot mass for engines

@jamesmaddison4546 You can't send food or water in advance The modules would subjected to months of radiation both in space and on ground Sending them in advanced again means they have to amply shielded till the crew which again means more mass. Even with equipment , still the same problem. Hence you have to wait to till after the crew launches, to start sending additional supplies as once they reach Mars, the crew can break them done and store them safely in build up modules Travel is only feasible when we dont have to rely on optimal planet positions That means engines not reliant on chemicals

@jamesmaddison4546 Again incorrect. In order to shield modules for months on end for travel through space and on the ground requires a massive amount of shielding and will greatly increase the mass again not feasible The factor you are missing is the Mars atmosphere Why did the NASA have to use the Sky Crane technique just to land 2000lbs rover Why can we land 20,000lbs module on earth with 3 parachutes but can't do the same on Mars Mars atmosphere is considerably thinner than Earth. Trying to land 20,000lbs on module on Mars would be exceedingly challenging No they will not have ample shielding unless propulsion issues make a stellar leap
