It takes off like a helicopter and flies like a plane. The V-22 Osprey is completely different kind of flying machine.

  • @wjohnsonism you honestly have no idea what you are talking about. this tilt-rotar aircraft is capable of so much. how is it a heap of junk?? i would love to know. airplane mode giving it more range while helicopter mode giving it more capabilities. it can haul humvees and artillery just like helis but faster and can get it places easier unlike planes. its a modern marvel

  • this heap of junk may be $70 million-smack-a-roo's a pop.. ... but if i may speak idealistically.. this may be a HUGE step in tilt-rotor aviation.... the first model of something is always terrible... but give the V-22 Osprey maybe.. 10 more years.. and a cheaper bigger (or) smaller more efficient and reliable tilt-rotor will surly come...

  • not to mention a mechanical NIGHTMARE

  • No I will not get on board. A trillion a year for defense. Corporations paying 0% tax. Wealthy people paying 10% taxes on the majority of their income (capital gains) while "normal" people pay 25-33% on the money they work for. Wars started for no reason. A military that is larger than the rest of the world combined. I will not get on board. Eisenhower (the Republican) was right.

  • @V22AboundPotential I think the next design will be similar to Avatar model. haha

  • 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?

  • Get on Board...The Transformer!

  • sadly congress wants 2 get rid of this aircraft because they say its worthless no armor no weopons and the corp already has enough transport aircraft....i agree with them as well.....but cool aircraft

  • V-22 essential re-design: Rotor diameter reduced from 38 to 36ft w/ 4th blade added per nacelle. Cabin area excluding cockpit lengthened from 20 to 24ft, widened from 5-1/2 to 8ft and heightened from 5-1/2 to 6ft. Exterior length not exceed 52ft. Wing broadness reduced w/ outer wings added. Wing leading edge include inverted slat-stators deployed during hover. Pwr increased from 6200 to 7800shp each. Empty weight not exceed 35000lbs. Max vert take-off 72000lbs. Wing rotate mechanism eliminated.
