onto dirt strips less than 2, 000 feet long to effect 3D maneuver into and out of closed terrains!

This is just the beginning...eXtreme STOL (ESTOL) capabilities like Air Cushion Landing Systems and rockets

could provide Airborne/Special units operational speed, range and reach that the V-22 could never attain even if it wasn't a broke, hanger queen, military welfare recipient. The V-22 can't carry light tanks/APCs--C-27Js can and do. V-22s can't and "won't".

C-27J = CAN-DO.
