Just another documented problem with an aircraft that will never fulfil its manufacturers' inflated promises.

Tiltrotor is a technological dead end & should have been retired as a theory after the XC-142 more than 40 years ago.

I have to agree with you on that, if something continually drops out of the sky through 10-15 years of development it should be canned. But these are the same people who bought the Bradley, Stryker, and HMMV so we will have to add it to the list of techno-clusterf*ucks

Wow the V22 drops out the sky continually?

I mean I only have over 1000 hours on the V22 and I never had one drop out from underneath me wierd.

That start up is NORMAL the engine is verticle there will be some oil that makes it into the combustion section of the engine its called gravity the seals inside expand and contract depending on if the engine is operating if its not they shrink allowing oil to flow past the seals

I never said anything that related the engine smoking to them crashing read my comment all the way through before you reply. If you didn't know they were supposed to be phased in the early 90's but due to a number or catastrophic failures in that time period and had to return to the drawing board. Besides the Orca concept far exceeded the V-22 in speed, life-cycle cost versatility, range, and survivability. Also it puffed once if at all when they spun up the turbines.

@v22crewchief Well you seem to be obsessed with my video, I don't know why if you are so right why you waste your time defending your precious aircraft on my not very popular or important video. There is a whole series of books that talk about what a POS the X-22 is. And besides, just because you call yourself a "CrewChief" on youtube doesn't make it so. I used to fuck with asshats by saying I hunted zombies for AMIRIID, but that didn't make it true. I really don't care about you or this video.

[YF681]

@YF681 Your excessive willingness to defend it only reinforces our arguement that it is a POS. If it were worthy you wouldn't need to. Besides, despite what DOD says we only have 2 in service, the third one? crashed in A-stan with all hands. If it were truly up to the people, this eldritch abomination would never exist, you would never work for DOD, and the wars would never have been.

I am a Crewchief on Ospreys and that is normal for engine start. The reason is their was probably some oil on the combustion chamber during start up.

@YF681 my reply to you was two parts the first I was replying to your dumb ass comment about them dropping out of the sky for 15 years.

Then there was a space ( I hit the space bar to separate two separate discussions) and I commented on the video you know the smoke and engine problems the original post.

As for your superior knowledge on the subject look at my screen name I have forgotten more about this plane than you will ever know but thanks for playing.

thats completely normal

[neseth16]

Just so you know that is a normal startup for the Osprey. This is why everyone thinks it is such a bad aircraft because people that know nothing about it try to assume bad things about it. I for one fly on the aircraft every day of my life for the past 3 yrs and I am still here.

If you can see the aircraft at engine start it not that bad yet!!! They start right eng first.....this is normal for a V22.....like random, daily, hydraulic/Avi component failure. ;)
