With these measures, costs are reduced by over 30 percent compared to a scaled V-22 wing.<sup id="cite_ref-Warwick,_Graham._53-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Warwick,_Graham.-53"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>53<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Bell expects the V-280 to cost around the same as an <a href="/wiki/Boeing_AH-64_Apache#AH-64E" title="Boeing AH-64 Apache">AH-64E</a> or <a href="/wiki/Sikorsky_UH-60_Black_Hawk#Special_purpose" title="Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk">MH-60M</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-55" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-55"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>55<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> While the Osprey has a higher <a href="/wiki/Disk_loading" title="Disk loading">disk loading</a> and lower hover efficiency than a helicopter, the V-280 will have a lower disk loading and longer wing for greater hover and cruise efficiency.<sup id="cite_ref-aviationinternational15oct14_16-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-aviationinternational15oct14-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In October 2021, Bell and Rolls-Royce jointly announced that the V-280 Valor powerplant would switch from the T64 turboshaft used on the prototype to a derivative of the <a href="/wiki/Rolls-Royce_T406" title="Rolls-Royce T406">Rolls-Royce T406</a>/AE 1107C used on the Osprey, which would be named the AE 1107F.
