History: Developed for USSOC the V-33 has a very specific role set in special operations. It was designed as a alternative to the V-22 osprey, which is big and is always grounded to maintenance issues. The V-33 is a smaller design, that is easier to maintain. The V-22 has room for 16 people including a crew chief and pilot. It was designed to carry 2 teams of 7 plus any gear they may need. It is equipped for sling load capability, if a rib or small vehicle is need for the mission. The V-33 can carry a lot of weight due to its power to weight ratio. It is the perfect aircraft for dark ops, that need speed and precision.

AG 8: mild gyro to keep the aircraft from listing due to diehedral.
