V22 osprey crash

[rock3tcat]

Somebody call the Germans! :D

[7249xxl]

whel people thin new arcrafts crash but the v22 ospery crashed for 5 times and 3 where fatal its always bad when they crash but comone 5 times a 747/200 crashes every year

[pliskunkk]

Ha ha! Your grammar is terrible.

[Xpayne1]

lol American technology always fail

[meower]

its french, dummy

[badkarma52]

and i'd like to thank estonia for all the outstanding technology to come out of that country. like, uh...uh...ummmmm......oh yeah, skype.

[overload117]

u ideat every new aircraft technology crashed

[shapipple12]

0:03 should have dropped the collective what was he thinking?

[wolfekeeper]

Probably thinking ground resonance.

[PieJesuG]

Ground resonance is better than a dynamic roll over.

He probably didn't see the damage to the left rotor I guess.

[wolfekeeper]

Actually according to the wikipedia, the flight control system was miswired, all bets are off- it's a fly-by-wire aircraft and could have done practically anything all by itself!

[ilikacoffee]

It can't autorotate. oh well. If they ever design a tiltrotor that can, then great, but the Osprey doesn't, so what? Look, It's not a conventional helicoptor and the things it can do far outweigh the capability of the traditional rotorcraft.

[PieJesuG]

It can't autorotate but V-22 pilots say they can glide it to the ground in the event that both engines fail.

[engasal]

epic fial

[brbckrdr21]

the main problem with this bird is that it cannot autorotate the controlability problems have been corrected but when in a hover if the engines fail it cannot use the updraft of air to keep the rotors turning to bring the aircraft safely to the ground the government is still debating on weather or not it can be safely used in combat although they reciently started using the osprey in theater

[chipmunkrubberbands]

shame

[Deuterom]

It was 17 years ago, dude... It was a flight control computer error. Pilot said as soon as he left the ground, he knew controls were wrong. Found out the sensors were wired backwards.

[Keruaran]

That would suck to find out someone wired it backwards...

[steelfox56]

it looked like gust made it crash

[RAFAFOO]

the 50 billion dollars bird

[tubelogin1]

doomed before the first takeoff. such is the US design. such is the yank.

[TooDeadForYou]

thanks. you pompous dick

[tubelogin1]

youre welcome

[TooDeadForYou]

my pleasure

[tubelogin1]

anytime

[TooDeadForYou]

I think we got off on the wrong foot, let's start over. Hi, how are you?

[tubelogin1]

im so so, steady as it goes. and yourself?

[TooDeadForYou]

neither here nor there. kinda in-between, I guess.

[tubelogin1]

hope better than these pilots, i trust.

hmmmm, can they even be called pilots?

[TooDeadForYou]

I doubt it. A real pilot would have had that sucker flying loops!

[tubelogin1]

this is somewhat of an achievement, considering the ease to flame. i think this exchange should be an example to all. :)

[TooDeadForYou]

My thoughts exactly!:)

[tubelogin1]

yanks are funny. he actually calls this crap a 'flight', laughable imbecile.

[soulcalibur22]

yank yourself.

[alqaedahunter76]

16 years and its come a long way since then!

[bognapalm]

On June 11, 1991, a miswired flight control system led to two minor injuries when the left nacelle struck the ground while the plane was hovering 15 feet in the air, causing it to bounce and catch fire.

[SamHughes998]

jeez fucking christ, that was some crash, guess if the pilot was alive he'd think twice about flying in gales!

[emachines34]

There is more to it than gales. What happened was that the the tilt rotor was oscillating, which lead to a pilot induced oscillation. The pilot lost control, therefore he crashed.

[digitaloverlord]

15 people died during development of it...

[zastava82]

The V-22 has suffered some of the deadliest test crashes in Marine history. It has claimed 30 lives, 26 of them marines, in three test flight crashes. This is a fourth crash, but there were no deaths then - two pilotes escaped this with minor injuries.

[Jeltissimus]

aua

[hsaxman]

Bad idea. ANY failure, and everybody is dead. No flying on one engine, no gliding, no ejecting, no autorotating. Just say goodbye.

[ace062k]

wow, that's a serious crash. Think anyone died?

[VancouverDriver]

I'm sure they're ok.

I'm guessing this is the 1991 crash of a test flight.
