Sophisticated counter measures, forward looking infared. Terrain Following Radar and a 500 miles *Radius* make this a must have aircraft for special operations.
It would have been nice to see the transition
CV-22's look like right out of a Terminator movie.
*The Avenger*
Mount some cannons of these bad boys!
just shoot with mk2 heavy sniper on the blades and it's done :)
GG
Just saw 2 of these fly over near my house crazy threw me off, they had the the blades in airplane type mode
What are the differences between CV-22 and MV-22?
Could the CV-22 stow the rotors and wings like the MV-22?
Yes they all can. I believe the CV-22 has an extra crew and an extra fuel tank, and some tech to support low level night specops missions.
as far as i am aware, the primary difference is the weather penetrating radar on the front, which allows them to fly very low to the ground in very poor visibility and still allow the crew to see the terrain. I dont really know tho, i fly on the mv-22.
I saw these in the most recent Godzilla movie. Beautiful air craft. Maybe I’ll reenlisted and learn to fly one.
Only officers are permitted to fly i think
@@matthewtenorioduenas202 That is true. Gotta get a degree first
Now is your time
it also happened during the recall and the primary election in California
Nice video, but how could you forget to ask the most important question of all times!!?? :
Can it fly straight up?? I.e. In plane mode, can it fly straight up (until it reaches the operation ceiling) :-P
Btw: how does it do an emergency landing? Does it glide, or do they do auto rotation?
SourceOfObesity they don’t autorotate, they glide it in. Straight up? Why would they do that. Nothing in the mission would require that.
Chris Smith straight up, cause they probably can go vertically straight up with the nose first ? At least in theory:-) Just because that is extremely cool :-)
SourceOfObesity lol. Just because one can do something doesn’t men they should. Would be interesting to find out what airspeed nacelle setting results in the maximum rate of climb.
@@chrissmith7669 movie scene explosion of course
They need to make more aircrafts like this!! 😲
V-280 Valor (?) Approximately same size as Blackhawk.
Why not use these Tilt-Rotors as "Helicopter Airlines" for short hall intercity travel from Heliports very close to cities with short check-in times than airports!
$$$$$$$
Aircraft manufacturer Leonardo is making a tilt rotor aircraft for civilian aviation. It's still in testing, but it will soon be a viable aircraft for airline use, I'm sure
I wouldn't wanna fly on one until they have a proven track record
They have improved safety, however, I still don’t trust them. Ask the 42 service personnel (mostly Marines) who died in testing and flight ops and their families if this technology is really safe.
NASA has done the research and laid out the road to tiltrotor as medium length direct city to city center transportation option. Search for NASA LCTR and you’ll find everything from aircraft design to airport evolution and airways
If V22 had 4 pales, instead 3, in every motor, would it be more efficient???
I liked the 5 blade rotor design. From what I remember they didn’t have the design tools to make the 5 blade rotor head light enough but still strong enough for the crazy forces during transition. Maybe today with 50 years of computer advances they could.
Dude seems pretty young to be a Major.
This is the predecessor to the Bell XV-3 Convertiplane, an experimental aircraft back in the 60's.
predecessor?
And stil.workes as a beauty 15.56 15.01.2022
@@hellsbelle2027 I think he meant successor
A pilot told me it’s like flying a shitty helicopter and a shitty plane. Love our ospreys though
@Darwimm you mean you forgot the C2 already
"First of its kind"
The XV-15 it was developed from: 😞
First Production tiltrotor. The German designer Focke was testing a tiltrotor in the early 40’s but faced difficulties due to constantly having to move his studio and production. The US gave it to Bell who made the first translations between vertical and horizontal in the XV-3, then came the XV-15. The AW-609 (Xx-609? As often as ownership has changed) is second generation production and 5th generation design. The 280 is the sixth generation of flyable tiltrotor. If Karen gets further funding from NASA for their Military Heavy Lift Tiltrotor (almost a twin of the LCTR) it could be the next generation C-130 sized tiltrotor capable of transporting a Stryker size vehicle.
Genuine question, why is he wearing OCP instead of a flight suit?
He’s not pulling Gs in that aircraft it doesn’t fly that fast
They are two-piece flight suits (same fire resistant nomex-type fabric as a one-piece), printed in OCP
Cuz it's Hurlburt field son they AFSOC boys quiet professionals responding to real world situations whenever they're called upon
so why not ask a former C2 pilot what they think. the real back bone of navy cargo distribution till now.
I think once they get used to being directly replenished the shops captains will be onboard with Osprey instead of greyhound
@@chrissmith7669 it's a whole different recovery action that require shutting down normal operations because if the large area required because if the large lengthy blades is what is an issue. During combat situations they use both decks cats for launching
@@joescheller6680 I was thinking of the non-carriers that would get direct replenishment instead of by heli from the carrier after the C2 drops stuff there. Deployment of Osprey in that roll will likely evolve as everyone learns best practices.
Why does the pilot start at parade rest and leap to hands-in-pocket out of reg style is my question.
who cares...
Because he wants to
all plane are capable of flying with one engine like ti see this do it
There's a main shaft that connects both engines together. One engine can provide power to both rotors in the event of an engine failure.
Bet his script is just out of view
