It has the configuration of the smaller V-15, with rotating engine pods set at the wingtips. The fuselage is box-like. The wing is set above the fuselage, and can rotate to be parallel with the fuselage, for storage. The tiltrotor aircraft takes off and lands like a helicopter. Once airborne, its engine nacelles can be rotated to convert the aircraft to a turboprop airplane capable of high-speed, high-altitude flight. The USAF received the first CV-22 Osprey in November 2006.    Type: Bell-Boeing V-22 OspreyCountry: USAFunction: multi-mission military aircraftYear: 2006Crew: 3; 2 pilotsEngines: 2 * Rolls-Royce AE1107C-Liberty turboshafts, 6150 hp (4,586 kW) each.Total Wing Span: 25.55 mLength fuselage: 17.48 mWidth Rotors turning: 25.55 mRotor diameter: 11.58 mHeight: 5.38 m (stabilizer), 6.63 m (Nacelles vertical)Empty Weight: 15032 kgMax.Weight Vert.

With its engine nacelles and rotors in vertical position, it can take off, land and hover like a helicopter, but once airborne, its engine nacelles can be rotated to convert the aircraft to a turboprop airplane capable of high-speed, high-altitude flight. This combination allows the V-22 to fill an operational niche no other aircraft can approach. The Osprey can carry 24 combat troops, or up to 20,000 pounds of internal cargo or 15,000 pounds of external cargo, at twice the speed of a helicopter. It includes crosscoupled transmissions so either engine can power the rotors if one engine fails. The rotors can fold and the wing rotates so the aircraft can be stored on board an aircraft carrier or assault ship.   V-22 Osprey Development The Osprey's development processes have been long and controversial. When the development budget, first set at $2.5 billion in 1986, had reached $30 billion in 1988, then-Defense Secretary Dick Cheney zeroed out the budget, but was overruled by Congress. The first flight occurred on March 19, 1989. The MV-22B is equipped with a glass cockpit, which incorporates four Multi-Function Displays (MFDs) and two Communications Display Units (CDUs), allowing the pilots to display a variety of layers, including: digimaps centered or decentered on current position, FLIR imagery, primary flight instruments, navigation (TACAN, VOR, ILS, GPS, INS) and system status. The flight director panel of the Cockpit Management System (CMS) allows for fully-coupled (aka: autopilot) functions which will take the aircraft from forward flight into a 50' hover with no pilot interaction other than programming the system. The aircraft was originally designed to be pressurized, but the rotating wing (for shipboard stowage) makes it difficult to properly seal the cabin. As a result, pilots and aircrew must wear oxygen masks while flying above 10,000 feet (3,000 m). The Osprey uses an on-board oxygen generating system (OBOGS) which enriches ambient air by filtering out the oxygen. The nitrogen remaining is then routed to the fuel cells to fill the ullage with inert gas as the JP-5 is consumed. The MV-22 is a fly-by-wire aircraft with triple redundant flight control systems. With the nacelles straight up in conversion mode (90 degrees), the flight computers command the aircraft to fly like a helicopter, with cyclic forces being applied to a conventional swashplate at the rotor hub. With the nacelles in airplane mode (0 degrees) the flaperons, rudder and elevator fly the aircraft like an airplane. This is a gradual transition which occurs over the entire 96 degree range of the nacelles. The lower the nacelles, the greater effect of the airplane-mode control surfaces. The Osprey was developed and is built jointly by Bell Helicopter Textron, who manufacture and integrate the wing, nacelles, rotors, drive system, tail surfaces, and aft ramp, as well as integrating the Rolls-Royce engines; and Boeing Helicopters, who manufacture and integrate the fuselage, cockpit, avionics, and flight controls. Portions are manufactured in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Amarillo, Texas. Final assembly and delivery occurs in Amarillo. The joint development team is known as Bell-Boeing.<img src="http://www.fighter-planes.com/5max/v22.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
