Un autre article, de mars 2019 pour célébrer les 30 ans (purée...) de l'appareil. [url=https://abc7amarillo.com/news/local/bells-v-22-osprey-celebrates-30th-anniversary]Bell's V-22 Osprey celebrates 30th Anniversary[/url] (Abc News) [quote]During the 30 years since the V-22 Osprey first flew, the tiltrotor aircraft, built by Bell Helicopter, a Textron Inc. company, and Boeing, has fundamentally changed how the U.S. Marine Corps and Air Force operate in combat and support humanitarian operations.

During the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Osprey was in high demand and came rolling off the Bell-Boeing production lines in dozens of configurations, leading to difficulties maintaining the disparate versions of the same aircraft. Enter the Common Configuration-Readiness and Modernization (CC-RAM) program, designed to consolidate the fleet from more than 77 configurations into fewer than 17 variants. (...)[/quote][/quote]
