V-22 Osprey

The V-22 Osprey is a tiltrotor vertical/short takeoff and landing (VSTOL), multi-mission air-craft developed to fill multi-Service combat operational requirements. The MV-22 will replace the current Marine Corps assault helicopters in the medium lift category (CH-46E and CH-53D), contributing to the dominant maneuver of the Marine landing force, as well as supporting focused logistics in the days following commencement of an amphibious operation. The Air Force variant, the CV-22, will replace the MH-53J and MH-60G and augment the MC-130 fleet in the USSOCOM Special Operations mission. The Air Force requires the CV-22 to provide a long-range VTOL insertion and extraction capability. The tiltrotor design combines the vertical flight capabilities of a helicopter with the speed and range of a turboprop airplane and permits aerial refueling and world-wide self deployment.

Primary function: Amphibious assault transport of troops, equipment and supplies from assault ships and land bases

Prime Contractor(s): Boeing Defense and Space Group, Philadelphia, PA Bell Helicopter Textron, Ft Worth, TX Allison Engine Company, Indianapolis, IN

Description: The V-22 Osprey is a multi-engine, dual-piloted, self-deployable, medium lift, vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) tiltrotor aircraft designed for combat, combat support, combat service support, and Special Operations missions worldwide. It will replace the Corps' aged fleet of CH-46E and CH-53D medium lift helicopters Variants* CV-22 will be utilized by the Air Force for their Special Operations missions maintaining maximum commonality with the MV-22.

Aircraft avionics: peculiar to the Air Force unique mission requirements constitute aircraft differences. * HV-22 will be used Navy the for Combat Search and Rescue and fleet logistics support.
