Ok, so let us concentrate again on the rotor disk loading.
If you had evaluated the design as an engineer, then I would not have to had to assume that you were asking about rotor disk loading versus propeller disk loading. An engineering evaluation would have understood that there are two flight modes that use different disk loading calculations and the question would have been more specific.

Following that, you seem to have categorically determined that it has a very high rotor disk loading without specifying a class. When you start defining the class, you cite vehicles in 2 classes and now finally you are for some reason comparing my design only to a helicopter. It is obviously NOT a helicopter! It is not even in the Osprey tiltrotor class. The closest conventionally categorized class it could be put in is the tiltwing class and in that class it has a low rotor disk loading.

I believe if anyone should be criticized here it is not me.

Somehow we have rubbed each other the wrong way, for that I am sorry.
