Default RE: Help Huge wing loading

There's no doubt the Osprey isn't exactly well endowed in the wing area department. Fudging in more area can only help. While you're at it though watch out for the tail area. Be sure you stay large there too. Although as I remember the sketches I've seen the Osprey has a large tail area for the wing. But I wonder if that's to ensure adequite control during the critical transitions where speed is low.... ????
