The V22 Osprey is an American Bell Boeing airplane. It was officially created in January 1985. It has had a rough past with a mix of successes and failures, but improvements have been done.
The V22 Osprey was designed by Bell-Boeing aircraft. Bell and Boeing combined together and teamed up to design this military aircraft. The joint efforts of these companies led to the design and development of the V22 Osprey.
Yes, it's currently in service with the USMC and the Air Force is currently evaluating some models. There is a proposal to sell it to Canada as a Search and Rescue aircraft.
The 'Osprey' has a pair of tilt-rotor propellers. Configured with one propeller on each wing, the rotors can then 'tilt' from the vertical position to the horizontal position, allowing the craft to hover or land an take-off vertically, like a helicopter. Answer: The fact that it's the only (first) tilt-rotor aircraft to enter service. The concept itself was tried and tested on numerous previous aircraft dating back to at least 1942.
The US Marines use the Osprey.
What do you mean? The osprey is an aircraft that takes off by angling thrust downward, and then slowly angling it back to pick up speed and fly like a normal aircraft. A harrier does the same, only the harrier uses thrust nozzles, and the osprey rotates the entire engine. I have no idea how it stabilizes.
Any that are classified as VTOL (Vertical take off and landing) craft. Some of the most recognizable are the Harrier Jump Jet and the V22 Osprey.
well the osprey doesn't really have a role. osprey: type of bird founded in the Chesapeake bay
The USMC have been using the Osprey since 2007, Their 'flight readiness ' rate is improving all the time and Marines love this aircraft.
The Bell-Boeing V-22 Osprey, Harrier, F-35, anything with VTOL.
