A bit about the V22

The Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey is an American multi-mission, tiltrotor military aircraft with both vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) and short takeoff and landing (STOL) capabilities. It is designed to combine the functionality of a conventional helicopter with the long-range, high-speed cruise performance of a turboprop aircraft.

The failure of Operation Eagle Claw in 1980 during the Iran hostage crisis underscored that there were military roles for which neither conventional helicopters nor fixed-wing transport aircraft were well-suited. The United States Department of Defense (DoD) initiated a program to develop an innovative transport aircraft with long-range, high-speed, and vertical-takeoff capabilities, and the Joint-service Vertical take-off/landing Experimental (JVX) program officially began in 1981. A partnership between Bell Helicopter and Boeing Helicopters was awarded a development contract in 1983 for the V-22 tiltrotor aircraft. The Bell-Boeing team jointly produces the aircraft. The V-22 first flew in 1989 and began flight testing and design alterations; the complexity and difficulties of being the first tiltrotor for military service led to many years of development.


BEST ONE YET, V4

V4 features:
  • New proppelers
  • New way of transitioning between gyroscope assisted flight and normal flight
  • Better turboprob performance (if you saw the last one yk how horrible that was, but i figured it out)
  • Better visuals (more realistic)
  • Flares
List of all features:
  • With the new system, the V4 operates excellently in both turboprop and VTOL mode
  • Camera aimed machine gun in the cargo bay (Ag1)
  • Fuselage machine gun (Ag3)
  • Custom proppelers
  • Realistic performance (As good as it got)
  • Very nice cockpit
  • Flares

Anyway...

Heres some quick facts about the Osprey and some pictures

Did you know the V22 wasnt actually the first tiltrotor aircraft?

It was infact the Bell XV-3

The V22 Osprey can fully fold its wings like a lot of other carrier-capable aircraft

(Coming next version 100%)

The V22 is the only crewed production tiltrotor aircraft
