- This is Aircraft 01 (163911). This took place on the 19th of March 1989 in Arlington Texas.
The V-22 Osprey is a Tiltrotor Aircraft that combines the Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL) capabilities of a helicopter with the speed, range, and service ceiling of a turboprop airplane.
The aircraft has twin engines, twin proprotors, a high wing, and a twin tail design with retractable landing gear.
The aircraft has a standard crew of three: the pilot, co-pilot, and crew chief.
The maximum Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL) gorss weight is 52,600 pounds. The maximum Short Takeoff and Landing weight (STOL) is 57,000 pounds. The maximum alternate takeoff gross weight is 60,500 pounds.
The proprotor system and airframe are primarily constructed of graphite-epoxy and fiberglass composite materials. The wing has a 3.5-degree dihedral and a 6-degree forward sweep. The V-22 is powered by two 6150 shaft-horse power AE 1107C turboshaft engines that are located in the nacelles. Each engine drives a 38.08 foot diameter 3-bladed proprotor.
The proprotors provide lift in helicopter mode, and thrust in airplane mode.
Interconnecting driveshafts maintain synchronization of the proprotors and provides single engine power to both rotors in the event of an engine failure.
The V-22 is a multi-mission aircraft that can be configured for personnel and/or cargo. Roles and missions inculde, but are not limited to:
Medium Lift Assault Support.
Tactical Recovery of Aircraft and Personnel (TRAP).
Search and Rescue.
Fleet Logistics/Carrier Onboard Delivery (COD).
Emergency Evacuation, Medevac, and Special Operations.

I was there that day as a young engineer at Bell. Dorman Cannon was the pilot for the first flight. There was instrumentation wiring taped to the exterior of the fuselage on the right side just aft of the cockpit. The program has been through a lot of turmoil since that first flight and a unfortunately a lot of people lost their lives in the aircraft between then and now. Hopefully Bell has all the bugs worked out for the V280.
Late reply, but i've been a part of the V280 program and lessons learned has helped create a great aircraft. The V280 is coming along and flying very well.
Brian, did you ever work in Delaware? I grew up watching this bird do testing in the early 90's. We lived under the flight path for KILG and the house is so close I can still hear aircraft taxing. My dad worked at the DE Air Guard and we used to hang out with some of the Boeing Vertol guys. One of them even let me drive his old ass Bronco well before I was 16 😂. Cool dude! #PistolPete the Sheet Metal Warrior !!
I was there too, another young (27) engineer - but on the Boeing side. I managed to witness it's first flight in the airplane mode too (about 6 months after this). I was "monitoring" in the telemetry room...but when I realized they were going to do a fly by, I scurried out of there and went outside. I spent 15 years on the program starting when it was just a bunch of drawings. To have been able to witness the first flight was a milestone in my career (which is quickly winding down). And to the reply from Kieffik...I spent a considerable amount of time at KILG supporting the Boeing flight testing there.
Date is not right though
Is there a name for this particular livery? Paint scheme
I volunteer at the American helicopter museum... the only place to find a V-22 osprey on display. No joke.
Nick Lang That's because all the others have crashed.
Theres another one at the airforce museum
Interesting to see the cockpit evolution from the early block aircraft to the ones deployed.
Wait 20 years till they start being replaced and then you’ll see them going to museums.
I was one of the Crew from Pax River that delivered it up there. :)
You can hear the fear in his voice, very brave test pilots.
AlexB4455 You aren't kidding. I've got a'lot of hours in the Osprey, but I wouldn't have wanted to be the first.
+tiltrotor22 Not even for $10,000?
Didn’t sound like fear to me. Sounded like a professional test pilot doing his thing.
tiltrotor22 you flew them?
@@chrissmith7669 remaining calm while chugging adrenaline.
Damn, Its came a long way!
It sure has. Its a much better aircraft now.
We had at least 4 camera’s covering this. I filmed the front head on ground to air views. Proud to say I covered the X-15 like a blanket and much of the,years of V-22 testing thru to 2001.
I have one of the original video tapes. I cant remember what type of tape it is. Its larger than a VHS, but it's not beta max. I have no way to play the original tape. Its longer than the video I uploaded. Bell's video archive department was no help either. I'll have to send it to someone to be converted.
tiltrotor22 ,it’s probably a 3/4 casette.you might find a transfer house that could put it on disc.
Either way both you guys are awesome for letting us see and experience this.... just awesome work guys
X-15 cameraman👀 i'm not jealous or anything
It's amazing how far we've come on this platform
Total fan of the tilt rotor and the step change in aviation it represents. Yes as the first operational tilt rotor there were some issues but no worse than some other programs of the time. Look forward to seeing how successive generations capitalize on the lessons learned.
It is a great sight to behold when seeing one of these start up, getting loaded up with troops, lift up and then rotate the rotor assembly forward and just fly super fast and be gone!
That is one brave test pilot.
Jesus I had no idea this thing was around in 89
I saw a couple of them a few years ago. The noise they made made me look up...
They are incredibly loud.
The wings seem to wobble a lot more compared to the ones they use now. The blades/props look a lot smaller and less of a pitch as well. I love the v22. I'd love to fly in one :(
+Marc Connell It's a fun ride :)
Wow thirty years ago!!
Stationed at NAS Dallas Tx in mid 80`s, use ta drive by on I-20 n watchem !
The electronic 3 axis gyro saved this project. Once computer stabilization was introduced, the Osprey became a breast
Wow that's the ship of the future
That is an awesome test flight. I am the Arkangel Daniel and I am from Heaven.
I worked on the Boeing part of the first proposal. It was called the JVX back then.

I imagine all the flight controls were mechanical at this point, and I would think at some point in it's long development they were able to incorporate fly by wire, or were they fly by wire from the start?
Fly by Wire was always a part of the Osprey. It never had mechanical controls.
I should have looked when the Airbus A320 was introduced, that was the first plane I knew had fly by wire.
I knew the Osprey had a lot of problems initially, I thought maybe the f b w helped fix them.
I watched a cockpit tour, the technology is overwhelming.
In the old days, a pilot mostly just needed big balls, now you still need big balls but you have to be smart as hell too.
Thanks for your service
@@bigredc222 First commercial aircraft with fly by wire but the military had been doing it long before.
@@bigredc222 Fly by wire has been around since 1968 or 1972, depending on what you consider an aircraft to be.
Jinxed.
Took almost 20 years to get in service

Made in USA 🇺🇸
Sweetheart sure wants to go ...
How was that able to take off with that pilots big brass balls lmao you couldn't pay me enough to be a test pilot or whatever its called
His balls were Titanium...about half the density of brass
Nigga sehhh BARELY
At 13 seconds
Oh my gawhh, dis dah gran creatahh
Alien rotorcraft
Copied from Soviets
You wouldn't happen to be one of those thieves working at Yakovlev as a "design engineer" would you?
Which aircraft is that?
What
Chutiye, kya hag raha hai be?
