V22 Osprey Crash

[phoenixbrown108]

i heard a woman was driving it

[nullerbamsen]

well...that's one way to mow your lawn...

[Trepanation21]

PRACTICE ON YOUR OWN TIME, PUBBIE.

[BrDaCoZ]

A typical Battlefield 3 match

[xXMCTommyXx]

Well, the Osprey is famous! In Modern Warfare 3 is she important ^^

[iwasfredfredburger67]

Meanwhile, the camera zooms up to an AC-130.

[malamagr]

There's a big book on the V-22 in stores now, read a bit of it last year. Interesting read, about how some of the crashes happened. For example once a hydraulic loop failed, the backup loop worked but the computer hadn't been programmed for the fact that it would respond slower when only 1 system was working. So the computer went into unstable oscillations on the throttle trying to equalize the engines, they kept resetting it, which made it ovecompensate all over again... down they went.

[mrgerminaro]

its like i got i got it wait no i dont NO I DONT poor guy

[DaSantosx]

Here goes my taxes to the garbage 

[halflife103]

@DaSantosx If your not gonna stand behind the soldiers feel free to stand infront of them.

[Mcgigglepies14]

@DaSantosx People died during this crash...Whats more important? Your money or the lives of those men.

[DaSantosx]

@Mcgigglepies14 For a stupid war of course my money ;)

[Mcgigglepies14]

@DaSantosx Hey guess what....this wasn't during a war. This was peace time and these guys died because of an accident....your money doesnt mean shit compared to these guys lives

[notafraid56]

i dont get it if they knew that it was out of control in the begging y idnt they shut the ngine off i mean its better to get hurt than dieing

[SpokaneThunder117]

I bet the pilot panicked, there were crazy over corrections

[theunknownbuilders]

no thats not the plane. ITS a mental piloit. LIKE EVERY HATER ON YOUTUBE.

[supercrapnstuff11]

@theunknownbuilders the pilot wasn't at fault here, for some reason the controls were set up wrong, and basically, it reversed all the controls, left = right is whats the problem here as in real life aircraft are inverted up/down

[Awesomechild96]

Over correct over correct OVER CORRECT!!!!! *Crash*

[AirForceFalcons100]

Female pilots

[xXiOWNxYou]

Fuck Ospreys. Goooo Chinooks! 

[mioritsa]

Это Русский аналог. Еще никому не удавалось создать аналог Русского вертолета по грузоподъемность. А тут американцы жопу напрягают .

[baddogonline]

Now, we use the Osprey every day to move troops and equipment around...

[therealGLAD]

Seems like me flying a chopper in bf3

[rickcain2320]

Looks safe to me

[Changchey]

If it were me, it would implode..... Yeah, i'm that clumsy.

[planefreak3]

derp

[NJrickmac]

fully deployed in Iraq. This video is old respectively 1/5 initial prototypes. AddipaddiSH is just looking for viewer ticks. Don't be misled.

[iNeonzHard]

17 point streak for nothing. R.I.P. Mr. Pilot.

[Left4Lulz2]

poor Osprey. Poor pilot. Need moar lift. <.<



[pitkinator]

i love american fail....its smells of true victory

[baddogonline]

@pitkinator Wow, since we, "failing Americans" - that you love to hate, actually provide for your country's security you would think that you, your family, and your friends would appreciate us more. It's not your fault mate, you hate us, because you're taught to hate all who are more powerful and free than you. Bring on the hate if you can argue intelligently. My experience is that you'll get all emotional, angry, and start calling names and using foul language. Let's see what happens, LOL. ;)

[EvilPlasticPlate]

@baddogonline Your a piece of FUDGE!1 You mother EFFER! rot in HECK!! :D lol

[baddogonline]

@EvilPlasticPlate Hehe... Thanks for helping me be right. XD

[theboarman]

@baddogonline you are failing americans, turning that place into a wasteland useing du, shame

[baddogonline]

@theboarman I enjoy and good debate; but, first, I have to understand what you're trying to say. Get out your French-to-English dictionary, adjust the internet connection on your igloo, and try again. That is if your Socialist government still allows you the freedom to speak openly. Poor brainwashed sheeple! BTW, it's 2011; who speaks French anymore? ;)

[theboarman]

@theboarman nice avoidance tactic, but the fact is the united states uses depleted uranium in most off their ammo and is turning the place into a wasteland. good job on wasting both our time.

[darrinr769]

looool dont tickle the pilots please!

[qwsxz1000]

who ever the pilot was shouldnt even have been 100 ft near the aircraft cause he or she is a total dumbass

[Silent14389]

@qwsxz1000 In 1991 these were prototypes, you know, the time where test pilots risk their lives to test these aircraft so that other pilots don't get killed.

[TATARSTAN59500]

i dont undestand this vehicle is for what ???

cost 67 million dollars and no work better than helicopter !

[altgeldrarities]

Half a trillion dollar program down the sewer.

[fanmanabc]

after the pilot nearly tilted it over, he should have stopped instead of continuing. 

[jman280292]

And that's another $67million of taxpayers money down the drain...

[TheSqueezedLemon]

That's me in ArmA 2...

[M33PM4N]

In a hollywood movie that would have caused nuclear fallout.

[civic89rice]

@lego99331 LOL long range lawn mower? It didn't move but 20 ft LOL

[lego99331]

from 0:10 it sounds like a lawnmower, note to self: osprey is now a long range lawnmower.

[Blahmarrow]

I can somehow imagine me doing that.

[Beatleboy62]

@Blahmarrow And afterwords:

"NO WAIT, I MEANT TO DO THAT."

[Blahmarrow]

@Beatleboy62 rofl

[Grimdopple]

the huge problem was that you control the power wfor the left and right props with your feet and it was hard for pilots to give the correct amount of power i was told., now its all done with computers.

[yourmajic]

at 11 seconds this thing sounds like a z28 camaro. haha

[RoseCityProductions]

@yourmajic No it is the big Detroit diesel from the airport firetruck haha. Either way it sounds good!

[behindthen0thing]

@yourmajic probably was the firetrucks going to get it

[PennyWisee14]

Fail

[chillpill46]

thing that sucks about the Osprey is when it crashes it always looks ugly

[oldnews1991]

Think the Osprey drank too much Diesel fuel? XD But, that had to be a scary incident.

[RoseCityProductions]

That Detroit diesel from the crash truck sounds amazing! They were rolling quickly!!

[ChargedTTq]

@RoseCityProductions I knew I recognized that sound!

[OttoKrinklebottom]

I never understood why they would use props - although jet driven surly a full jet engine would provide more power.

[Bra23we12]

@OttoKrinklebottom

That's a seriously good question!

....and like a lot of deceptively simple questions, there really isn't a simple answer.

There were many factors to take into account. Chiefly, the ability of props to vary the thrust quickly using pitch control. Other factors included heat signature, noise, ingestion, air compression focus, etc.

Factors in favour of jets were: Simplicity, weight, performance, low gyroscopic force loading etc.

It wasn't a simple choice.

[OttoKrinklebottom]

@Bra23we12 I know its only sci-fi but in the film Terminator took the idea of an Osprey and gave it Jet engines and that was way back in 1984, the same year Bell was awarded the contract for the idea and before any plans were even drawn.

[malamagr]

@OttoKrinklebottom Probably because of altitude. Pure jets are fuel hogs at lower altitudes. That's why turboprops were ever used at all I think

[MrPixied]

lol, when he touches the ground the 2nd time, i except a ferrari coming into the screen :p

[KampferXeon]

If this were Halo or any other video game for that matter, it would have blown up in an inexplicable explosion.

[mushi1996]

Dstire no dstire69 (how ever u spell it cause I'm using my iPod) is right about the safety record about the osprey. If it is so dangerous why would it still be in service?

As far as the one being shot down I have no idea but most people just have to talk to sound SMRT (yes I spelled it wrong for a reason)

[iWatchVideoZz]

they should have just stop when the plane tilted :(

[malamagr]

@iWatchVideoZz This reminds me of a time as a kid when I tried riding a bike with my arms crossed. Even though I knew what was happening (pulling with either arm turned me in the opposite direction as usual), it was impossible to overcome the trained reflex (or whatever it is) that made me pull my right arm harder the more it turned left. I went into the bushes... almost got impaled. Must be the same for a pilot when the wires are crossed, your reflexes take over and you can't override them ?

[MichelHoch13]

oh man the poor money ;(

[filipegfsp]

fail

uashaushasuh

[YourLoyalDog]

Thats someones dad or mom in there protecting our country that just died

[AeroSail727]

@YourLoyalDog This was the first accident in 1990 I think. The pilot made a mistake with the throttle. He pushed it forward to "dump collective" (in helicopter terms that means to adjust the pitch of the blades so as to decrease lift) but in the early V-22 this meant the engines went to full throttle since it was designed to be a cross between a collective lever and a trhust handle (they made it behave like a jet throttle). The pilot survived to tell the tale.

[RammsCarvalho]

Imagine how horrible to be inside the cockpit in a moment like this, Osprey has a powerful engine and this noise added to the tension of the crash is surelly, at least, traumatizing (in case the victims survive)

[p1946]

This thing is a frigging Marine-killer. US enemies must be lolling and cheering.

[jdjk7]

LOLsprey.

[rds13601]

"It's a great day for the Army Captain!" "Why is that General?" "CUZ the Marines bought dozens of of those deathtraps!"

[MidnightGrunt]

The ROFL copter has landed. I repeat, the ROFL copter has landed.

[Mast3rFlex]

Shit i spilt my coffee hang on a sec i need to clean myself off

[archon808]

Like the chinok, the osprey is a ridiculous concept where 2 engines are required for flight. That is the opposite of redundancy.

[achalorocks]

Pilot 1: BAIL OUT!

Pilot 2: Wait a sec. I need a better shot.

[DreadTRex]

did the pilot survive?

[noble00006]

around 0:12 it satrts to sound like a suped up mazda or something...

[newforestroadwarrior]

@noble00006 It's been dubbed on for some unknown reason - I've heard that sound in another helicopter crash video. The Osprey is turbine powered.

[dstire69]

Does that make a difference?

[phoneloan]

That pilot was like, I'm experiencing problems and I should land this aircraft, but I'm still going to fly this thing even if it kills me!

[BMunich16]

why didnt he try and put it down after the first huge dip?

[dstire69]

*cyclic controls, my bad

[dstire69]

Too many people need to research this....video was shot on initial flight of the osprey. And it wasn't pilot error, it was a plug in the wrong connector causing the collective controls to act reversely. There hasn't been an osprey crash due to pilot or mechanical error for a long time, just the one shot down in the sandbox last year....some people just like to bitch about what they know nothing about I guess.

[EpicFork]

if this was a manned flight they should have cut power and landed at the first sign of contact with the ground,

[coolpivotguy22]

the pilot must have been drunk.

[BUCEnGAR]

I'm not really sure why we reinvented the wheel with the V-22.

We had this technology completely functioning and workable in 1965 in the LTV XC-142, and also in the Canadair CL-84. 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.

[darkzoneo144]

pilot error hahah the pilot need to train

[ThePantsManYEEAH]

@camaros65 that makes no sense! But I know what you mean... What makes you think he didn't die?

[SerjeTheRobot]

DID HE DIED?!

[camaros65]

@SerjeTheRobot That makes no since, and i dont think he did those seem pretty save to me.

[danning1]

The thing has an incredibly cool-looking design, though. I hope they can get V22 Ospreys to work without a hitch someday.

[30053493]

can hear the emergency vehicle speeding off before it even crashes!

[YeuLaKho]

oh my........... hope he's OK

[bhyllsman]

What they really needed was a fairey rotodyne like the brits developed in the 60s but did not have the foresight to develop ---like everything else!

[hadlock]

Dice has studied this footage to ensure the best possible recreation of this in Battlefield 3

[jimmyxx3]

@hadlock

WHere did you find this out?

[konoko1984]

@jimmyxx3 Could be in developer's blog or something.

[pepparmostheelder]

@hadlock lol you serious xD? If so, talk about dedication which could lead to actually a bit more "realistic" explosions and crashes.

[Sagramorbald]

@hadlock Just let a noob pilot any chopper and you'll see something like that... with your whole team dying XD

[MidnightGrunt]

@hadlock So did MW3

[hadlock]

@MidnightGrunt Yeah, but the MW3 version looks like it crawled out of 2005 ;)

[MidnightGrunt]

@hadlock lol yeah the MW series is pretty shitty...

[mrcodypettit]

@hadlock lol it's like flying a helicopter for the first time BF3. You'll go up and cant fly straight then go crazy and die xD

[LateNightCable]

You know, after twenty some odd years off research and development, you're still having problems, maybe it's just a piece of shit.... And speaking of shit, backup underpants are standard issue for every Osprey crewman. Okay, I made that up.

[fonkyman]

@LateNightCable lol thats exactly what i thought when i first read how long it has been in development and what went wrong....... hmmmmmmmm maybe the design just SUCKSSSSSS!!!! omg still cant believe people would pilot this shit :(

[highlo3517]

typical day in an osprey squadron... nothing works right. if its not broke it will be shortly

[toro199999]

VTCL:Vertical Take off & Crash Landing!!

[AdamJamesWalker86]

Does anyone know what happened to the pilots, were they alright?

[MrHecticbeetle]

@AdamJamesWalker86 I doubt it

[afretired04]

The problem the V-22s were having was hydraulic related. The hydraulic lines were vibrating loose from there support/clamps, then the chaffing lines would eventually rupture. The crashes were a result of loss of hydraulic control of one, or both, of the engine nacelles. I was a QA aircraft inspector at Edwards AFB at the time the Air Force was re-engineering and modifying the hydraulic lines and supports. It's been a reliable acft since the repairs.

[RampantRedBull]

This is what happens when you let a Hercules have sex with a Jolly Green Giant...

[spatialcurvedtime]

Thats a typical bad control engineering system.

[delta5297]

Funny, I was reading about this just now in "The Dream Machine" on page 198 and thought to myself, "Wait I think I've seen this before".

[IwAtChViDeOz44]

Thats my brother landing a Falcon in Halo Reach.

[53tgh1]

@IwAtChViDeOz44 yeah the falcon from halo reach is like a more advanced version of this

[IAMKMC]

thaatt will buff right out

[Fisken54]

it was " a miswired flight control system" according to Wikipedia

[midgety1]

Fucking noob pilots ..

[StateOfTheArts]

it's a fricking test flight, that's what tests flights are for, to fix the bugs........

[3DPeter]

@StateOfTheArts

It's a dangerous piece of shit, because when one engine failes, the whole thing wil drop like a brick.

And now those idiots are going to move the president of the usa with it. How stuppid is that?

[KayPeepers]

@3DPeter

Actually, I'd love to see this happen with our president inside.

[22640cal]

@KayPeepers just because you dont like the president doesnt mean you should wish death on him, you're a sick individual

[OlderG0ds]

@3DPeter a lot of aircraft will drop if 1 engine fails

[3DPeter]

@OlderG0ds

So tell us witch ones.

[OlderG0ds]

@3DPeter Any 1 or 2 engined airplane. Any 1 engined helicopter. lol

[3DPeter]

@OlderG0ds

Wrong! An airplane can glide like a glider plane, and a single rotor helicopter can do an emergency landing without the engine. The blades can be turned in a neutral postion so that when it drops from the sky, the wind wil propel the blades, and just before the ground the pilot is pulling the colletive up, so that wil give enough lift for a smooth landing. It's a one chance manouvre, but it works fine most of the time.

[3DPeter]

@OlderG0ds

Now this osprey has 2 little wings, but they are not enough to provide lift to carry the entire weight of the

aircraft, so it's doomed when 1 engine failes.

[abcdofc]

@3DPeter It has a power cross transmitter, so if one fails, the other backs it up

[3DPeter]

@abcdofc

you mean some kind of transmission that is connected to both engines?

[abcdofc]

@3DPeter yeah, a drive shaft links both engines, so the left engine is powering both props at all times, as is the right engine. but if one fails, the power is halved but control is maintained

[3DPeter]

@abcdofc

Wel, i didn't know that, so i learned something today. Thanks for that.

[abcdofc]

@3DPeter

I really like this aircraft so that's probably why I know a fair amount about it's systems

[TheMickyGMan1]

retards

[arcdirect]

But guess what it,s ALL OK now , eat your heart out . lol

[dstire69]

every aircraft requires alot of maintenance...do you work in aviation? i do, and i work at the facility that manufactures these VTOLs. they dont cost more to maintain or build than a fighter jet, and have hauled tons upon tons of soldiers and cargo to our guys over in the sandbox. id say that a couple going down over the last 20 years really isnt a bad percentage....but hey, what would i know? im just around em on a daily basis...

[1BustedMyth]

@dstire69, I really worry about the future of the human race when i see the amount of aviation experts on here, they'l fight like hell to tell you their right and you don't know jack, funny how the fakes say so much and the real people say so little isn't it! ;)

I was a flightline mechanic then a aircrewman, best time of my life. I'm seriously jealous that your around these, bet you've even had a flight you bastard!!! LOL

[captalex1]

@dstire69 frist of all yes it is high and if a hornet fails wt does that tell you. And first of all if anything its the lack of maintenance and the lack of gunndecking plus i heard there a piece of trash

[captalex1]

@dstire69 frist of all yes it is high and if a hornet fails wt does that tell you. And first of all if anything its the lack of maintenance and the lack of gunndecking plus i heard there a piece of trash

[AccordGTR]

@dstire69 there are only 112 in service so 2 accidents is a lot already. If they were a commercial plane they would not be allowed to fly by the FAA. I think the $67M Ospreys were rushed into service and to hell how many soldiers and contractors are killed by accidents. 1st combat fatality 4 KIA April 2010 was due to engine failure which military tried to cover up. Lucky you you stay on the ground. Next time hitch a ride with the soldiers too, why don't you?

[buzzkilla82]

@dstire69 do you live in philly or amarillo?

[MegaMontageable]

@dstire69 im not trying to be an ass but i dont think they should have replaced the pavelow,dont get me wrong there an amazing machine but then again the helicopter isnt that good of one

[MIDNITENOWHERE]

Dead ??

Just Barely they have taken off...

[Ericman2043]

LOLOLOL

[ben5447]

This is what happens when you buy shit made in china......

[admx94]

@ben5447 Wait, please dont tell me this was made in china. Ima be so mad...

[dstire69]

@admx94 made in america everyday

[dstire69]

@ben5447 do some research...made in america. these rarely crash

[michaelwright999]

where they all killed ?

[Ericman2043]

@michaelwright999 i don't know, i hope they were ok

[michaelwright999]

@Ericman2043 looks bad, dont think anybody got out alive. ?

[MW24823]

@whenindoubtbjitout fuck u

[MW24823]

@whenindoubtbjitout

[chuckydog]

@whenindoubtbjitout it's clearly not fake.

[1203125]

Derp. You would think after it failed to take off evenly they'd have just sat it back on the ground. Not said 'ah fuck it' and gave it some more.

[15firekid]

thats not how to fly

[Kilonum]

@flyingjerry um no, actually $67million each. Total project cost is $30 billion with over 400 built.

Also, there has been only 1 crash since 2000, and it was due to pilot error.

[dstire69]

@Kilonum 67 for a marine version...closer to 90 for the CV air force version

[flyingjerry1]

these things cost over 3 billion to produce one!extremely expensive

[dstire69]

@flyingjerry1 no..they cost a fraction of that. less than 100 million each...do your research

[flyingjerry1]

@dstire69 suck it, bitch.i read that in a book about helicopters.you got ur answer on ask dot com or something

[dstire69]

@flyingjerry1 dumbass....i only work for the manufacturer.

[flyingjerry1]

@dstire69 of course u do

[dstire69]

@flyingjerry1 hahaha...just reassure yourself that your 'book' is the all mighty truth bud

[wannabetyouarefat]

fay-ul!

[MrJew90]

The commentry guy sounds like Sgt. Foley

[Makron5]

Why can't we cancel this damned project? Not even Dick Cheney likes it and Dick Cheney never met a defense project he didn't like. It's too expensive and doesn't even meet parameters. We need to stop saving things because they are cool because $210m a plane is just too much for something that doesn't even work right.

[TheKillerman170]

@Makron5 Actually I live in California right next to a base and I see these things fly perfectly find now judging by the crap quality and the voice this video must be years old
