Of course back then, the military didn't foresee an urgent need for a VTOL that had an extended combat radius. So here we are 40 years later reinventing the wheel at the cost of billions of taxpayer dollars.
I mean, why use something we've already developed when you could start from scratch and charge more.
@BUCEnGAR hey, i am a v-22 airframer for the corps, i think i can answer alot of those questons as non-condescending as possible, as i dont mean them to be. first, yes there actually have been vtols in the making since the 50's even, but they were all prototypes and most model if not all, had many flaws and were decommissioned after a couple hundred flight hours of use.
continued... the technology to keep those birds flyable and stable for long periods of time did not exist quite yet. there is just to much that has to be shoved through a ppilots head in order to attempt to fly a vtol in helicopter mode safely. now, why we requested such an aircraft is easy.
@MarksmanLeBlanc you dont understand, most helicopters have an active lookout and are able to detect and avoid other traffic that may be around their oa. they dont look out they think they can fly anywhere tehy want and everyone else will move for them. two of them blazed straight through my formation and almost ran into my fuckin huey, they are not relevant to todays battles and are totally defenseless. oh and they cost billions to maintain
I read that if one of the engines or propellers fails the other one (due to a rigged belt or drive shaft in the wings and back of the aircraft) will keep both blades spinning.
If it used jets it would be a different aircraft!
Is this your idea of sarcasm? Why didn't you just call your video "Don't fly this thing! Here's why."

You obviously have minimal comprehension of fluid dynamics or aeronautics. Tell me- how would the Osprey cope with prop oscillation and or resonance in a side-gust over 25 km/h?
@SignoroIncognito It is not a matter of weither I know or not because I am not a pilot. Tell me, pilots of this aircraft are trained to handle this sort of thing. o wait sorry thats common sense. Calling me stupid serves no purpose.
What happens in the event of an engine failure in hover?? Or even in horizontal flight, since the engine that is still working is on the tip of the wings and can cause alot of momentum.
@7Goggles7 Ok cool, without that it would be a nightmare to land knowing you can get an engine filure at any moment. I wouldnt mind taking a ride on one now.
@peepeevagi This is way off topic. Even with the jets to B-36's were sitting ducks for the migs. The only reason they were ever in service was because it was the only plane the US had that had the range to bring an Abomb to The USSR. Thier only hope was sneaking through where the migs wern't there. Realy awsome looking plane though. Very Buck Rodgers, 1930's vision of the future.
The B29 is better than the B17 in almost every way, except for cost and takeoff roll. And that roll is so long because... well, it was the longest range bomber of the war, and one of the biggest at that.
I imagine, if they could, russia would use em today :D
@Sevival Yes, it can do a rolling takeoff, with the nacelles tilted half-way forward. While on ground, the nacelles can't be tilted all the way because the rotor diameter is too large.
Also per the description: "which is exposed rotor blades that can strike nearby objects or people while landing and taking off. " The only way you could hit a person with the blades is if the person was 22 feet tall. That is how high the proprotors are when the nacelles are rotated up.
The aircraft can fly with a single engine failure. It has an inter connecting drive shaft system to allow one engine to drive both proprotors. At high density altitude or high gross weight you may not be able to hover single engine but you could roll it on or execute a no hover landing.
How old are you "rhummayuna"? I presume that because you swear with such ease that you are at least a teenager? In which case you should have decent enough English. Spell correctly, sort out your issues and then maybe someone will take you seriously
its a lot quicker than a heli. also has more capacity and requires less crew to operate. but i agree, $60+ million/unit isn't cheap XD not to mention the $27billion program. it has already replaced the pavelow.
@OlderG0ds Yes sorry your right, the b2 cost $2 billion dollars, that was a typo. But the v22 is 69 million for the aircraft and about 50 million for the production cost.
$69 million dollars may seem like alot of money to us, but in the military it's like buying a pack of gum
for a transport, it is still very expensive. but it may come down in time as more orders are placed. 2 billion dollars for each b2 is still a lot of money. that is why only 20+ are in service in the USAF.
A "chopper" can not fly as far and fast as a plane and is limited to a close airbase. These can fly from another country, land in an unprepared field and then leave. Therefore, if setting up an airbase in another country is not an option, you can still pick up military troops in another country and then fly out at a high speed and altitude.
-only one gun and you need to openthe door to use it.
No ejection seats
When it's props are pointed forward in horizontal flight you can't land like a reg aircraft. The props would smash against the ground. So if you had a dual engine failure you'd have to autorotate with a weird propeller array instead of gliding in. If the props Are between up and forward you're screwed- no way to land.
its funny when people don't know what they are talking about. If one engine fails, the rotor is powered by the other via a sync shaft that goes through the wing. Also, the v-22 glides just as well as a traditional helicopter autorotates.
Ambowe has it right. Although you never want to be the owner of any twin engine glider, this machine is certainly no worse than others, and considerably better than some, in what would be an extremely rare occurrence of a simultaneous dual engine failure. I don't think I have ever heard of one except where there was a fuel problem as the result of pilot error.

V-22 Osprey fucked your mom last night. I ATE CHEETOES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!~!!!!! !~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~ squirble squid billy goat fuck dick cheese pussy on pussy horses 0_o. whoa just had some sort of a blackout
What happens when somebody puts a couple of bullets (or an RPG) into one of the engines? Do you auto-rotate or land like a conventional fixed wing? Hmm, I don't think so.
The big thing is this bird has to get altitude to get speed and then it's a bit too much of a target. There were better things than this but the Pentagon likes throwing money at things til they work. how much did we spend on the Sgt. York before they finally conceded it was a dismal failure?
Just looked up the history of the B29. I think most of the issues were never resolved, worst of all was the engines. They were unreliable, overheating and catching on fire etc.
The main problem they had with these was that the hydraulic lines were vibrating loose and causing failures. They went through complete modifications to ensure the security of critical components.
which further implies the aircraft should have been scrapped, the UH-1 has a better track record than this thing not only by stability/integrity but also by lethality, this aircraft is a white elephant.
well the UH-1 has been reliable for so long, it honestly is a good aircraft. But it is practically obsolete, since its last mishap in 2000 no more lives have been lost and has proven itself in the combat environment.
If both motors die then so do the passengers and crew. The V-22 can't auto rotate like a helo nor glide like plane. It just falls out of the sky. Dual engine failures are rare though but who knows when people are shooting at you, it's not out of the question.

German engineering beat the USA to this with a far simpler and more effective aircraft- the Dornier Do 29.
It was a twin turbo-prop of pusher type, which have 90 degrees of rotation from horizontal to vertical.
It operated perfectly- no crashes. No technical problems. No complex computers- just wire & pulleys.
Exactly like the first helicopter- also German.

Didn't they do the same thing with that other helicopter program?

The B29 didn't fail whatsoever!

Just looked up the history of the B29. I think most of the issues were never resolved, worst of all was the engines. They were unreliable, overheating and catching on fire etc.

I wouldn't count the engines though.
The particular type in the B29 caused problems in any aircraft they were based around.

Except for the flying boxcar.

I think the OSPRAYs could be used as gunboats, too (with IR-Guided missiles and gun platforms)

I don't think so. The recoil would probably play havoc with its stability.

IIRC they were planning for a chin mounted gun on it.

The main problem they had with these was that the hydraulic lines were vibrating loose and causing failures. They went through complete modifications to ensure the security of critical components.

It had lots of problems in the beginning
but if you do the research, some of the
greatest military planes ever built had
lots of problems to start with. The
Osprey is a very complex machine. I think
they have worked most of the bugs out
now and it will go down in history as
one of the great warbirds.

Some aircraft just look like a bad idea...

very dangerous plane, many lifes has been taken for this project.

A project that should have been scrapped before it even took off :(
leslieTS 3 years ago
no, other aircraft developments were more life costly than the osprey
DillardxDUH 2 years ago
which further implies the aircraft should have been scrapped, the UH-1 has a better track record than this thing not only by stability/integrity but also by lethality, this aircraft is a white elephant.
leslieTS 2 years ago
well the UH-1 has been reliable for so long, it honestly is a good aircraft. But it is practically obsolete, since its last mishap in 2000 no more lives have been lost and has proven itself in the combat environment.

no it cant fail if one engine dies, it has linked engines, which powers both rotors even if one engine dies.

who are you replying to?
and even if both motors die, they can lock the rotors in an upright position, and have them free-rotate like in a helicopter thats lost power.

If both motors die then so do the passengers and crew. The V-22 can't auto rotate like a helo nor glide like plane. It just falls out of the sky. Dual engine failures are rare though but who knows when people are shooting at you, it's not out of the question.
