This aircraft was designed to meet all four U.S. armed services needs. With its vertical and short takeoff capabilities, this transport aircraft allows the militart to attain a faster deployment of troops and supplies. The two tilt rotor Allison T406-AD-400 engines are so powerful, that if one fails, both rotors can be powered by the other. Designed to meet a US military need for a VTOL aircraft that could carry combat troops, the V-22 Osprey was first flown on March 19, 1989. This multi-mission aircraft has an instantly recognizable appearance, and has been steeped in controversy almost since its inception. With its tiltrotor design, the Osprey can perform the same tasks as a conventional helicopter, but it has the speed and range of a turboprop aircraft. Several catastrophic crashes early in its service led the media to decry it as overpriced and unsafe, but the military disagreed and the aircraft has remained in service, successfully completing combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
