The Untold History of the Notorious V-22 Osprey

[@oyvind-b]

You forgot the aircraft that did a emergency landing in a protected nature area on the island Senja in Norway. That I think may caused the grounding? They couldn't fly it out of there, no roads nearby but the Norwegian defence with US experts and a skilled crew with a big crane and a barge manage to remove it in summer of 22. Good effort from everyone!

[@hypercomms2001]

Well actually the XV-15 existed before Operation Desert-claw, but that failure showed the limitations of the aircraft at the time...

[@mmmmburgerz9442]

Those limitations still exist. When they bought them up 2001 in mass at $40 mill a pop, they had faulty de-icing systems and couldn’t lift Humvees. That faulty part that killed the crew of Gundam22 last year? Yep. Still unresolved after 35 years of flying. It’s a expensive mistake they refuse to can for good.

Is the x2 raider better, faster, stronger?

[@MichaelDewey-n7u]

No, not by a long shot.

[@nedmorris9794]

Please expand on your reply

Meanwhile Bell V-280 Valor on the way

[@steeldriver1776]

Bell's new Valor, Invictus and Venom platforms are sick! I'd kill to be on those projects.

[@christhornton1603]

That's what brought us here.

[@juanmcm]

They are for different purposes.

[@carmelpule8493]

Those dimensions are very wrong. The folded height is certainly not 8 feet 3 inches.

[@paulwagner7305]

From January 2000 to August 2024, 52 ch-53 helicopters have crash and unfortunately has taken 100 lives. Maybe make a video about that helicopter. Then this error filled video

[@robertjohnson9884]

How many Marines has this aircraft killed?

[@johnadams8445]

How many soldiers from black hawks? Or 53s? Go find out I'll wait.

[@kenrobertson1463]

Having a lot of experience in military aircraft helos and fixed wing in all levels of maintenance on engines, props and rotors. I could be helpful in the current issues with the osprey. As all of you know, the military doesn't turn to experience for assistant. I have one more year until retiring, let see if they give me a call. Probably won't.

[@Move-n-Mountains]

The reasoning why the osprey was built is ridiculous and misguided to explain a failed rescue mission!!! People in high places, deflect the blame.

[@badlandskid]

Yeah, blaming a helicopter is pretty lame. Poor planing from rear echelon bureaucrats was the culprit.

[@charlesmaurer6214]

Earlier this year were 9 crashes in 2 months causing a grounding, worse safety record in US military aircraft. The Navy wants to replace the greyhound with this plane/copter that has some great abilities but lack the safety record for general transport. Even the POTUS is barred from the ones in the Presidential fleet. If it is unsafe for comand it is unsafe for the men. Never ask the troups to do what you are unwilling to do.

[@johnadams8445]

You couldn't t be more wrong.

[@犬犬-u7w]

エンジン大きいな

[@myizukai8478]

And yet the government went with another version of this aircraft instead of the S97 raider which was indeed a better aircraft by design and performance

[@Odo-Lee]

Crazy how only 1 year later and this video is already outdated

[@infiniteandunlimitedabundance]

The entire concept of having 2 separate highly fuel inefficiency turboshaft engine and tilting is wrong. This design is too complicated. Too heavy that won't allow it to generate instant lift with synchronization during emergency. All electric drones are very stable to fly because the rotors are fixed with maximum attack angles. By controlling the current will instantaneously create lift on any particularly rotor as well as synchroning all of them together. It allows the drone to perform incredibly jaw dropping aircrobats. But due to the poor energy density of batteries, it's not possible to deploy electric motors on V22. In short, V22 needs an ICE VTOL systems that is as simple as electric drones. Otherwise it will never be safe to fly.

[@rickebell3867]

Sad that the V-22 has killed 62 people in 16 crashes! The V-22 is an engineering disaster and needs a complete re-design.

[@JayJay-de5jv]

Those planes are crap look at how many deaths have happened with those things complete waste of money I wish the family could sue

[@craig4867]

V-22 top speed is not 565 mph!

[@Military-TV]

We mean 565km/h

[@craig4867]

@@Military-TV well you should correct it but that's not what it says and you should know better if you're doing military stuff! Always be accurate and it will put you ahead of the game!

[@jamesshaughnessy1]

I'm so frustrated with our military and government over this issue. Our technology isn't advanced enough to support this airframe, its just to complex.

[@charlesmaurer6214]

The killer of the Osprey can’t be fixed at this time, the main killer is any significant difference in lift due to ground effect lift on just one side. Half the crashes are landing on the corner of a deck with 50 feet more from one side than the other giving ground effect lift on just one side. The two propeller design is not fit for vertical landings on a carrier deck edge.

[@Δημήτριος-ω7ζ]

А давай f-16 попробуем? Мне c-400 нравитца

[@gairybadresingh925]

Why not use jet engines instead of props

[@AA-xo9uw]

The same reason why the Harrier and Harrier II didn't takeoff vertically with a full payload.

[@Iamxavierjohnson]

Females lower a militarys capabilities

[@jaimeg9700]

a drone with a sniper rifle the drone can get close to the enemy the drone will land it can stabilize its self on the ground it can also raise up to hit its targets it will be camouflage so the enemy wont be able to see it the dr can fly in quiet with no sound the military have a set VR head set he or she can control the drone and it will have nite vision the drone will have a laser pointer to hit the target the person controlling the drone can see all around them Jaime G ✌👍🌟

[@faker213]

US junk

[@arthas640]

how so? who's got a better tilt-rotor aircraft?

[@AA-xo9uw]
