Why Japan Grounded Its V-22 Osprey Fleet? Title of video is never answered in the video. And of note: 31 years in, and I refuse to fly in these things. Boeing grounded the entire 737 Supermax fleet because of a hypothetical. Yet, this abomination is still flying despite its ever rising body count. Just because it is a "military" platform doesn't mean you should ignore performance issues.
Like what you just did. The V-22 has been around long enough that the military can say for certainty that it is in fact the safest, most reliable aircraft in the entire arsenal. Both fixed-wing and helicopters have a worse record in terms of accidents. Now in terms of body counts, well the V-22 does carry more, and like before the military and manufacturer learned from those incidents and the design is better for it. For comparison, helicopters have an accident rate of 9.84, while Tilt rotors are at 3.16. Thank you.
I’d go on one in a heartbeat. They still have a successful flying history, accidents vs flight hours are small. But agree on the misleading video title. It’s just plain awful.
To be fair, the 737 MAX crashes that prompted the FAA to ground them were not hypothetical.but I agree that the Osprey is a horrendously dangerous aircraft
If it’s a “high performance” military aircraft with a stiff set of development, manufacturing and operational/maintenance costs, then the ceiling on the body-count gets raised, proportionally. Between the US and West Germany, how many dozens of F-104 pilots died on account of that aircraft’s abysmal operational safety record?
Apart from terminating unexpectedly before the end, this video utterly fails to discuss the Osprey's greatest weakness... the proven unreliability of its single-engine transmission Interconnect Drive System via the quill clutch mechanism and the Prop Rotor Gearbox at either rotor that can result in something called a ' hard clutch engagement' that overstresses the interconnect drive system shaft and breaks/shatters it. When that happens, the a/c is space debris and there's nothing the pilots can do. They're as dead as the occupants of a fixed wing a/c that loses a wing. Can the commentators not bring themselves to mention this?
Its not "so prone" to accidents...in twenty-three years there have been ten fatal crashes, which statistically is actually quite safe for an operational military aircraft fleet.
Any thing new will have problems, but this is old news. A lot of those problems have been mitigated. The V280 will further solve a lot of these problems. The early years of cars was met with lots of accidents. i just looked it up, yea they are having accidents , however in the military all their planes are having accidents. part of defense. I would say if its too risky use it for cargo. Where is the article about japan?
This video is a public relations video to downplay the problems with the V-22 . Worked on this aircraft since it came in service. Good idea , many problems including hard to maintain and expensive. Some parts were meant to be throw away parts and replaced with new. The services of course cannot afford to do that so they are being repaired at a high cost and long turnaround times. Services are just stuck with this aircraft now. You just look at this video , you see all those moving parts , that whole wing rotates and tilts, too many moving parts. Can you imagine the mechanical parts needed to do that and the wear and tear. Very expensive aircraft to maintain. But politics got it built so as I said they are stuck with it.
All helicopters and now tilt-rotors can suffer from VRS when flown outside of the defined operating envelope. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vortex_ring_state Plus the accident rate of the V-22 is actually lower than most vertical flight aircraft.
Why didnt we learn from “The Widow-Maker” Harrier jet.... The LA Times called it the most dangerous aircraft in the US military. Ospreys fly around all day long in the little island of Okinawa. Capacity 24 Marines... time to decommission this new widow maker.
3 crashes in the last 3 months, 6 in the last year alone. How many marines is that? The question should be "why is america not grounding the widowmaker when Japan is smart enough to?" 🤔
It’s accident rate is in line with other rotory winged aircraft. Ch53 take out twice as many marines with each crash but I don’t see anybody complaining
@@tylerdurden4006 funny I our ch53 crash in Google get good long history of crashes including a mid air involving two off the coast of Hawaii a few years ago that killed a dozen

Watched the video, So why did Japan Ground Its V-22 Osprey Fleet?
Awful, misleading title.
Jack of all trades, master of none comes to mind when I think of the V-22...
jack of all trades, master of none, but often times better than a master of one
@@brenttaylor5712 Holy shit that rhymes.
The US just grounded the entire Osprey fleet today.
R.I.P.
Glad I was out of the Corps before it came into service. Semper Fi!

one of the opening shots if a RC airplane u guys know that right? lol
Well at least we know Maxson won't be conquering the commonwealth with this tech!
A fundamentally unsafe design, that they try to fix with more layers of high-tech
It’s not an unsafe design
@@chrissmith7669no it is truly an unsafe design
likely sub optimal conceptual design combined with inadequatly identified and addressed failure modes in the assembly
it is very beautiful but very dangerous
This aircraft needs reengineering with modern design tools.

Vortex ring state is not possible with the v22, per the test pilots.
There was a crash in a practice operation attributed to vortex rings so this is just heresay.

There's a reason why the POTUS is *NEVER* allowed to be on one of those....guess why?! They're sticking with the Marine One...
its from boeing what you expect lol
