The Most Controversial US Military Aircraft - Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey

Death trap, has no ability to recover from vortex ring state flip , which will happen in a single engine failure. No autorotation capability and no glide capability.

The Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey is a death trap. Development started in the 70's and after 50 years it was completed. Or was it? Boeing invested millions into the project, what the death of several marines' matter to Boeing stock?

，， Doubled speed , and FIVE times the range , think about it 。!。!。。

An amazing piece of engineering, very versatile. A good tool for the U.S. military to conduct operations on several different missions.

I was in my backyard and saw a flight of 3 of them fly over headed towards Chicago. They always look cool.

It's easier to hear the guy talking when you put your play back speed to 0.75X

"A New Aircraft" ... As the narrator, you are not supposed to read aloud the interstitial titles.

With the American citizen getting dumber and dumber with every generation, (Thank you Democrats for that one.) it was just a matter of time before new pilots would be wrecking these aircraft just out of shear blind stupidity.

True "multi-tool" aircraft. I'm a bit surprised that the US Coast Guard doesn't have some of these in their inventory. I'd think it'd be a tremendous search and rescue platform.

One of my favourite aircraft. I wish the UK would buy them. I love the distinctive sound they make as well. You know what's coming long before you see them, and I very often have them fly over my house, on their way to Holbeach Ranges or on their way back to RAF Mildenhall or exercising at RAF Sculthorpe. Fantastic aircraft.

they probably have an AV-22 variant with an m61 vulcan turret we don't know about but all wish for. or hell, they should make a totally new aircraft thats basically a VTOL A10 warthog.

Altho cool looking, these planes have been crashing alot lately in Norway, dont know why, harsh weather conditions? Seems its not made for military use really..

The trans folks love these things because they go both ways.

I wonder if we left any behind at Bagram AFB.

The emergency response variant X2 Sikorsky large upscale complete with lavatory.

If they kept build cost down, they could make big helicopters pointless.

If rapper pulled up on the scene in 1 of these, folks would go crazy

"Impeccable record"???

2 Ospreys have crashed in the last 3 months (07/22) killing 9 Americans total. The safety record of the Osprey is atrocious.

They seem to be a very good idea but need to be handled by exceptional pilots . Why is there no rotary blade on the tail to give better stability ?

84 million for junk that cant stay in the air, and men die

Back when they were tendering out the designs of a half airplane half helicopter, both Bell and Boeing contacted me and asked me to be team leader in design. I don't know how it happened but i think they must have infiltrated my kindergarten and found the drawings that i was doing during art time.

Worst aircraft ever made.

During my time in the military and as a contractor afterwards I've flown on just about every type of aircraft that there is that carries passengers... except this thing. I was trying to get out of a FOB in Afghanistan one time and the only thing leaving that day in my direction was an Osprey. I told them I'll try again the next day. Not setting foot on that rattlecan deathtrap voluntarily.

I'm really surprised that nobody ever Experimented with a "Jet Propelled Version" of the Osprey, or I never heard of it...
Be nice to see if it would actually work!
Or even a 4-Rotor "Bi-Lateral Winged" Version that would completely replace the Chinook Twin-Rotor Heavy Lifter the Armed Forces currently operate.

Between the F-35b's rolling takeoff and this real life vertibird, it feels like the Marines have some of the best carrier pilots in the country.😆

They should stop calling those sentenced to ride these occupants or passengers and start calling them victims or casualties to be. These things crash far too often.

The joke back in the day was the osprey killed more marines than the Taliban. And it’s still killing them.

It just took 5 more lives in California, worthless junk

rip to those marines who died in cali.

How fast can an osprey vs a chinook

Another went down in southern California today killed 4 marines 6/8/22

I was at Camp Lejeune when one of these crashed, killing everyone on board.

My buddies and I swore we'd never fly in one.

About 15 years later, yeah, I'd take a spin in one lol

Ide rather walk

I see Ospreys coming and going from MCAS Futema in Okinawa, Japan.
I appreciate the fact that you speak English clearly, correctly, articulately. Some other "news" videos tell us how a Russian ship was "shot down" and seem to have no idea what the name of a specific aircraft is, or how it should be stated. Good work.
Nicely done. Well spoken. (You get the idea.)

Do these nice aircraft, display They/Them pronounce on the side of them?

I Had the Honor Of Boarding The Osprey Parked at an AFB For an Air Show.

Can you speak faster ?

What happened in Norway?

Can someone explain me how the pilot will manage to save his ass in a situaion of one engine faillure right during takeoff!??

I definitely miss the MH-53 but seeing these things fly over Fy.Walton Beach at night is still kinda cool. But God are they LOUD.

I wonder why there has never been a civilian variant of such aircraft. These look in line to be successors of the Fairey Rotodyne concepts and could have their uses in non military applications. Anyone know why this isn't the case ?

Nothing about it’s many crashes and that it costs 71 million?

i hate the osprey. it just doesn't move right. and it's LOUD. and the down blast is more intense than the MH-47. and it's small inside.
BUT, they are quick... i'll give them that.

My grandfather helped design this aircraft's rotating propeller design. Always said it was one of the projects he was most proud of. Rest in peace poppop. Your birds are still out there soaring.

super, great aircraft channel!

I am a bit disappointed by this video compared to the usually high standard of the Dark Skies series. Given that it starts with the vary sad driver of the Iran rescue fiasco it is surprising that it becomes a hagiography of one of the most unreliable aircraft operated anywhere by anybody. Thankfully the Osprey doesn't drop out of the sky anymore but it still has a lot of problems with getting airborne and I doubt that post Iran US planners really wanted a grunt that had the serviceability overheads of a state of the art fighter.

The V-22 replaced the CH-46 in the USMC community. Please do the write-up on the CH-46.

One of those flew over the field while we are playing baseball this past Sunday in Irvine. Was flying low was awesome, and has a unique sound.
