There are some stats for the Bensen X-25A on
http://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/factsheets/factsheet.asp?id=636
The listed takeoff speed and weight would indicate a lift
area of 172 sf if the rules in VXii apply. Wing and rotor
areas in Vehicles are for the top and bottom, but the
rotor is nowhwere near 86 sf, either. Eyeballing the pic,
I would say the lift area for rotors needs to be 5 times
the actual area.
Of course rotor areas in Vehicles are highly artificial
anyway. They're more a combined-materials-requirement
figure ...
