I hope some of our 'troops' read this article. They might find it interesting... I am not sure when this aircraft will make it into service. Certainly the US Navy, as well as the US Army, could use this aircraft, especially as a platform for SQQ-28...

Certainly, a nice platform for the US Coast Guard as well.

Getting there faster is important based on the mission...

Great.

Now I gotta worry about *2* Jesus nuts instead of one...

That is a very good looking machine. Yup, I know looks aren’t everything, but that machine appears to want to fly. And fly well.

Okay, I confess that I am a bit behind the curve with regard to the development of vertical envelopment aircraft (other than the application of that theory via the one-way trip in a Herky Bird or Starlifter).

But it looks to me like we already have a tilt-rotor troop mover aircraft in production (The V-22). So I have two questions: 1)What does the Valor do that the Osprey cannot do? And 2)Why not revamp the Osprey to meet the new requirements?

Thanks ahead of time for your considered responses.

So the Osprey hasn’t killed enough people to matter?
