I've become concerned with an issue: Tilt-rotor footprint.
With wing and proprotor folding for stowage everything looks well and good; but, what happens when the time comes to spotting planes on deck with fuel burning and rotors turning?
What happens when engaged in operations among urban canyons, say, in support of MOUT?
I've attached the only three comparison images I could find of size comparisons. Note the footprint comparison against the Frog, and the one against the Chinook (specially leghtwise)
