Even your high water mark is vastly optimistic. 95% of infantrymen weigh well more then 150lbs, and that’s before the 30lbs absolute minimum of kit required in addition. I consulted a while back with a Silicon Valley type trying to outfit drones to carry soldiers into the battlefield. It took ages for him to realize that you’d need to transport a minimum of 12 300lbs soldiers to a location, and at that point how is it not just a stupidly risky divided helicopter?
