Why wont they make a jet engines powered model of this aircraft? just replace the propellers with oversized jets, it would make it more futuristic and much faster.
@DJALIENPHANTOM interesting idea, but as i understand it the rotors (as well as providing lift) also provide the rudder function, so the machine can rotate... plus jets rip through fuel like its free :)
@DJALIENPHANTOM turboprops are still more economical than jets. if you used jets, you would need to increase the fuel load, thereby lessening the payload or increasing the size and weight of the aircraft. There are space restrictions aboard a small amphibious carrier the USMC uses. Its all a balance of compromise.
From Airforcetimes website: crash investigation of Osprey in Qalat Afghan. April 2010 revealed engine failure. Military wanted chief investigator to change his report to "pilot error". "The stresses of flying in the dirt and dust of Afghanistan probably caused the engine problems" BGen. Harvel, chief investigator said. He was not allowed to brief the families of the 4 KIA onboard. Maybe Airforce wants to coverup the reliability problems of this overpriced $67M helo?
@AccordGTR nice try. sand/dirt is a common problem in the middle east and can cause major engine or other mechanical failure. just cleaning sand out of vital components is a full time job over there.
pilots (civilian and military) are trained not only in how to fly an aircraft properly but how to safely land one in an emergency. if the engine failed (which an investigation will prove or disprove) then the crash is 100% pilot error as every pilot is trained in proper engine-out procedures.
@Kaferwerks I don't get your point. You didn't dispute what I posted. I was suggesting a high-level coverup that the Osprey was rushed into service when it has serious design flaws that could put its passengers in danger more than other helicopters when flying in sandy conditions. The investigation done was the official DOD investigation. The General didn't want to sign-off on the Colonel's findings when it was the Colonel that did the actual field investigation.
@AccordGTR pilots are trained how to handle emergency situations safely such as engine failure. if the colonels findings were engine failure to be the cause of the crash then i agree with the general and would do the same. it is pilots responsibility to make the right decisions and there are specific procedures to follow in an engine out emergency. the fact that the aircraft crashed proves pilot error. what part of that dont you get?
@Kaferwerks Your logic is flawed since we are talking about the PRIMARY cause. You are saying that the pilot should never crash the aircraft even if it encountered engine failure which doesn't make sense at all, even if all pilots are trained to handle emergencies, because AIRCRAFT CAN'T FLY WITHOUT AN ENGINE. Duh! The pilot has no or little control when there is mechanical or system failure so how can he be at fault? Maybe your Dad is the General or works for Bell-Boeing. hahaha
as for a double mechanical failure? get real, the whole purpose of the transmission system is to keep the opposing rotor in motion in the event of an engine failure. to think that an engine failure would cause a transmission failure makes absolutely no sense and is just rediculous.
@Kaferwerks You assume the Osprey can hover with only 1 engine working cuz the tranny will distribute the load evenly? Since when did you become the expert? "Aviation Week" article "The Need for Speed" quoted Col. Clay Hutmacher from the 160th Special Ops Aviation Regiment: at the conditions of the crash at Qulat, Afghanistan, V-22 can hover at only 4000 feet but Qulat is 5085 ft altitude. So if engine failure happened, pilot has no chance to hover.
@AccordGTR you have this wonderful ability to read and completely misinterpret everything ive said. thats not a compliment. i just had a few a&p's and other pilots read over your comments here, they find you hilarious.
im done with your ignorance, go troll someone elses video.
@rickcain2320 both engines/rotors are geared to one another. if one engine fails the opposite engine will continue to spin the rotor of the failed engine
@Kaferwerks ...in theory. In reality if one engine fails, its likely the transmission will also fail and the aircraft becomes uncontrollable. Unlike a conventional helo which can be autorotated for an emergency landing. This is a more complex machine

@crochunter3 not in a full forward tilt as the rotors would not clear the ground. many heavy wheeled helicopters make rolling takeoffs and landings similiar to aircraft when they are close to gross weight, although i did not experience it, i assume the osprey could do it as well

Nice, To all.. This is an MV-22 (marine osprey) i believe.. kinda hard to see XD. You can tell this by the light color and the fact that it doesnt have a MMR (multimode radar) on the nose like the CV-22 (air force osprey). This one is probably out of new river id imagine. I work on the AF version =p
@Sa1viA there was a good article on the CV-22 in a recent airman magazine issue, you should check it out if ya already havn't seen it....also the the air force version have inflight refueling cabalities?
@ownage1894 Really? I will look into it. Thanks. And yes it does have inflight refueling capabilities. There is a retractable refueling probe on the nose that can be extended by the cockpit controls or manually in the cabin.
I live by MiraMar naval base in San Diego, so i see alot of the test planes fly over my college, this thing freaked me out when it flew over a few days ago, thought Russia was taking over. xDDD
Very complex technology with blade speed and engine synchronisation (counter rotation also helps spining to direction) At least, 5 axis gyroscope with two seperated units. This baby is able to roll, and also fly at plane speed, but does consume a lot of fuel. This is why is can't be used for long travel operations. But one of the most advanced hybrid plane helicopter in the world... Enjoy more vids to see the baby flying....
There has never been an Aircraft that has had zero problems when first put into service. This aircraft is keeping our troops out of harms way every day
Europhicc, there have been photos and information available online about this plane since its development began in the 90s. It's not a big secret, it was always there for people who wanted to look.
Europhicc Iraq can't even make aircraft let alone one by watching a simple but awesome video like this. Nice video!! I'm goin Air Force and I hope I can have the opportunity to fly one!
@mallard92 the engines are connected together via a drive shaft which extends the length of the wing, so if one engine fails the other engine can continue to turn with power provided from the first engine.
@uviuar I was not aware of that and I see how that may be helpful with engine failure. However in the unlikely event of dual engine failure the V-22 has yet to show safe landing procedure. Not saying it's a worthless piece of crap but I am saying its a piece of crap compared to the Pave Low.
@brizzlewcu Please do some research before you post, it can hold twenty FOUR seated and THIRTY TWO troops when they are FLOOR LOADED. That means there are troops in the isle in place of equipment and such. Idiot
These blades were spinning at nearly 200 rpm. assuming the camera has a scan rate of 60 hz and the blades appered to be motionless on two instances thats how I guessed it.
@12TakeAsecLookUp2012 Yet it kills 14 of the best Marines that the Corps had to offer. Engineering is good but when it is engineered bad, then and only then it is a problem.
The Marines will use the Osprey however not only the Marines. It will replace the retiring Pavelow as the Air Force's search and rescue aircraft/troop transport
that thing must weigh a hell of a lot.. n what happens if one engine fails, i guess if ur in forward flight it would besomewhat controlable. cant fly on one engine like in a heli, cant fly normally to the nearest airport like a plane.
i guess its not as dangerous as im thinking maybe im over simplifieing.. the army wouldnt take it on if it wasnt very safe am i right
yes if you read posts below another knowlagble person on the opsrey answerd this, there is a interconecting drive sahft set up through the gear boxes to a midwing gearbox so if one engine fails the other will still turn both rotorheads.
no. the osprey is in service with the marine corps. & the air force has just went operational with them. I saw 2 ospreys fly over my house last week. I believe they were Marine birds as they flew the same low altitude track the marines use occasionally.
I think it can land as an in-between though, 'cause it can take off with the nacelles at an angle kind've like a plane so I figure it can land like that as well; say if it was overloaded or carrying heavy cargo
Maybe someone can help me with this. I dont quite understand how the Osprey is able to control itself in hover. Do the rotors move just like a helicopter? Or dot he blades change pitch like a normal turbo prop engine but not in-sync? Or do the nacelles actually move minor amounts in hover in any direction? Help please! I cant find info on this anywhere lol
Wikipedia has some info on this aircraft. Each rotor changes both cyclic and collective pitch via a normal swash plate mechanism, just like a helicopter. The trick is in getting both rotors to cooperate with each other, and this is where the computer fly-by-wire system comes in to play.
so has Al Gore's personal jet. at least the osprey has a good reason to burn the fuel. if Al Gore was really worried about carbon emmissions he'd fly first class on United.
If both engines go out and/or the nacelles fail to respond, the engines can be cut off and the aircraft can glide to the ground using flaperons and the rudder. (The V22 propellers lack auto-rotation)
interesting how they start both engines at the same time. guess I still look at this thing as an airplane not a helicopter lol. Damn thing must draw a crazy amount of power to start up/
They actually do start up the engines independantly. The interconnecting driveshaft system rotates both proprotors from the power of one engine. So it appears that they start simultaneously because both proprotors are turning. However, they are started separately because it does take a great deal of hydraulic power to start one engine.
Not that our heavy lift helos dont have their place, but they are not even in the same class as this aircraft. The osprey can cruise at about 250 MPH, which, on today's battlefield is very useful. Since they have corrected the problems with this aircraft it will be extremely useful for many different missions.
As a Viet Nam vet, our large helicopters could speed along at nearly 150 MPH. It was stupid for the military to spend all that tax payers money to develop this death trap just to be able to move a little faster. Some ignorant General or Admiral must have had a buddy in Congress to pull this off. Furthermore, the operational costs of this abortion is outrageous. The Osprey will eventually be scrapped after the instigators retire. Signed, Pissed off Vet
and ospreys are like a chinhook, these arent made to go into a hot landing zone, they are made to bring large ammounts of troops faster then a chopper but still land verticaly, so guns arent important.
partially false. All helicopters can go into a hot LZ, chinooks are armed. window mounted m240s or miniguns. Ospreys can have a ramp mounted gun and side mounted guns.
well im sure they would rather send a blackhawk then a chinook or osprey into somewhere where theres a huge danger of getting hit, both cuz a bhawk is cheaper, but is also smaller, abit more manouverable and is less complicated (both ospreys and chinooks have lots of moving parts to transfer power to both rotors)
actually the chinook is faster and more manuverable, and it does better at higher altitude. so the chinook is perfect for areas like afghanistan as it creates more lift. PLus the chinook can take a real beating. Now the Osprey is alot faster than a blackhawk and can carry more. I can understand the parts thing, but chinooks have been around since Vietnam they must be doing something right.
GenWinters: They dont have side mounted guns, however they are testing a 20mm hand held controlled gun that comes from the aft hell hole. It uses a PSP type setup for controlling/monitering.
The osprey may be a loser but its still gonna be an important airplane. We bit off more than we could chew with it. Next time we'll get it right by learning from osprey
The biggest weak spot of this V-22 is right at the nose!! Without any kind of fire power in the nose(just to protect itself in the battle) this $120 million dollars baby will by the trophy prize for the so called "insurgent" in Iraq. By the way, I guess they are laughing so hard right now upon the news of the V-22 comes to their land! Common down !!!
i think all planes should be like th v22 osprey

Don't primarily use anything. There are certain craft which are used for certain tasks.

The Marines will use the Osprey however not only the Marines. It will replace the retiring Pavelow as the Air Force's search and rescue aircraft/troop transport

that thing must weigh a hell of a lot.. n what happens if one engine fails, i guess if ur in forward flight it would besomewhat controlable. cant fly on one engine like in a heli, cant fly normally to the nearest airport like a plane.
i guess its not as dangerous as im thinking maybe im over simplifieing.. the army wouldnt take it on if it wasnt very safe am i right

each nacelle is connected to each other, one engine fails the other still powers both props
onebadevox 2 years ago 3
yes if you read posts below another knowlagble person on the opsrey answerd this, there is a interconecting drive sahft set up through the gear boxes to a midwing gearbox so if one engine fails the other will still turn both rotorheads.

no. the osprey is in service with the marine corps. & the air force has just went operational with them. I saw 2 ospreys fly over my house last week. I believe they were Marine birds as they flew the same low altitude track the marines use occasionally.
kdraper2007 2 years ago
no the V-22 can't land like a plane has to land vertically the props are way too long 38 feet i think
dirtypance 2 years ago 5
I think it can land as an in-between though, 'cause it can take off with the nacelles at an angle kind've like a plane so I figure it can land like that as well; say if it was overloaded or carrying heavy cargo
Zacq768 2 years ago
Maybe someone can help me with this. I dont quite understand how the Osprey is able to control itself in hover. Do the rotors move just like a helicopter? Or dot he blades change pitch like a normal turbo prop engine but not in-sync? Or do the nacelles actually move minor amounts in hover in any direction? Help please! I cant find info on this anywhere lol
izanti 2 years ago
Wikipedia has some info on this aircraft. Each rotor changes both cyclic and collective pitch via a normal swash plate mechanism, just like a helicopter. The trick is in getting both rotors to cooperate with each other, and this is where the computer fly-by-wire system comes in to play.

In 3 minutes it already burned the gas I use in one year !

so has Al Gore's personal jet. at least the osprey has a good reason to burn the fuel. if Al Gore was really worried about carbon emmissions he'd fly first class on United.
kdraper2007 2 years ago
also 1 engine goes out can still land, the two engines are connected by a drive shaft
quietflight00 3 years ago
If the engine and rotor fail to rotate to a horizontal position your gonna have a hard time with the landing yes?

u can land it lyk a plane
aidanhd 2 years ago
Yeah, considering the blades have a small diameter like a normal prop plane ;)
TheFick 2 years ago
If both engines go out and/or the nacelles fail to respond, the engines can be cut off and the aircraft can glide to the ground using flaperons and the rudder. (The V22 propellers lack auto-rotation)
PieJesuG 2 years ago
imagine if one of the engines fails to rotate back to its landing position? = 0 how would it land? lol

interesting how they start both engines at the same time. guess I still look at this thing as an airplane not a helicopter lol. Damn thing must draw a crazy amount of power to start up/
izanti 3 years ago
This comment has received too many negative votes show
Both propellers have to run syncronised , or else they will touch eatch others (I think...).
Alexvideoclip 2 years ago
The propellers do not overlap, otherwise the pilot would be crushed by the blades when transitioning to plane mode (and that wouldn't be very nice!).
The RPM of both propellers is kept equal by onboard systems to prevent torque rolling.
PieJesuG 2 years ago 6
They actually do start up the engines independantly. The interconnecting driveshaft system rotates both proprotors from the power of one engine. So it appears that they start simultaneously because both proprotors are turning. However, they are started separately because it does take a great deal of hydraulic power to start one engine.

sailindude1221 3 years ago
Not that our heavy lift helos dont have their place, but they are not even in the same class as this aircraft. The osprey can cruise at about 250 MPH, which, on today's battlefield is very useful. Since they have corrected the problems with this aircraft it will be extremely useful for many different missions.
crhrocket22 3 years ago 3
As a Viet Nam vet, our large helicopters could speed along at nearly 150 MPH. It was stupid for the military to spend all that tax payers money to develop this death trap just to be able to move a little faster. Some ignorant General or Admiral must have had a buddy in Congress to pull this off. Furthermore, the operational costs of this abortion is outrageous. The Osprey will eventually be scrapped after the instigators retire. Signed, Pissed off Vet

and ospreys are like a chinhook, these arent made to go into a hot landing zone, they are made to bring large ammounts of troops faster then a chopper but still land verticaly, so guns arent important.
ChaplainDMK 3 years ago
partially false. All helicopters can go into a hot LZ, chinooks are armed. window mounted m240s or miniguns. Ospreys can have a ramp mounted gun and side mounted guns.
GenWinters1992 3 years ago
well im sure they would rather send a blackhawk then a chinook or osprey into somewhere where theres a huge danger of getting hit, both cuz a bhawk is cheaper, but is also smaller, abit more manouverable and is less complicated (both ospreys and chinooks have lots of moving parts to transfer power to both rotors)
ChaplainDMK 3 years ago
actually the chinook is faster and more manuverable, and it does better at higher altitude. so the chinook is perfect for areas like afghanistan as it creates more lift. PLus the chinook can take a real beating. Now the Osprey is alot faster than a blackhawk and can carry more. I can understand the parts thing, but chinooks have been around since Vietnam they must be doing something right.
GenWinters1992 3 years ago
GenWinters: They dont have side mounted guns, however they are testing a 20mm hand held controlled gun that comes from the aft hell hole. It uses a PSP type setup for controlling/monitering.

all jet engines start with some smoke.
the v-22 weakness in vortex ring state, when descending too rapidly, it loses lift from rotors.
nice to have an ACV-22 gunship version.

The biggest weak spot of this V-22 is right at the nose!! Without any kind of fire power in the nose(just to protect itself in the battle) this $120 million dollars baby will by the trophy prize for the so called "insurgent" in Iraq. By the way, I guess they are laughing so hard right now upon the news of the V-22 comes to their land! Common down !!!
