J'ai la même impression de l'avion bidouillé que toi, mais quand je regarde ses caractéristiques de vol…d9pouces a écrit
Marrant, je le vois plutôt comme un avion « bidouillé » pour atterrir comme un ventilo : sa structure ressemble quand même plus à celle d'un avion (ailes, empennage, moteurs sur les ailes, …) qu'à celle d'un hélico.
Entièrement d'accord avec toi!d9pouces a écrit

Une petite question: la turquoise est bleue ou verte?

Japan plans to acquire its own fleet of V-22 Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft as part of a wider effort to counter China’s military build-up in the East China Sea, according to Japanese news reports.
The Japanese Self-Defense Forces are looking at buying 17 Ospreys, according to reports in major Japanese newspapers, which detail a five-year defense build-up that Japan’s cabinet is scheduled to vote on Tuesday. (…)
The U.S. Navy executed funding procurement for the second year of theV-22 aircraft’s $6.5 billion multi-year procurement (MYPII) contract, the service announced Dec. 17.
This action identifies full funding to defense contractor Bell-Boeing for the second year of the V-22 MYPII contract and provides $1.3 billion for the procurement of 22 V-22 aircraft (three Air Force CV-22s and 19 Marine Corps MV-22s) and Advance Procurement funds for 19 MV-22 aircraft to be fully funded in fiscal year 2015.
The MYPII, signed in June 2013, authorizes purchase of 100 V-22s over the next five years (fiscal 2013-2017). The multi-year contract will procure 93 MV-22s for the Marine Corps and seven CV-22s for the Air Force. (…)
“From combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan to therecent disaster relief and humanitarian assistance in the Philippines, the V-22 continues to prove itself as a game-changing aircraft. Ospreys enable our Marine Corps and Air Force Special Operations to execute missions not possible with conventional aircraft. The V-22 has helped save lives where others could not.” (…) The V-22 successfully blends the vertical flight capabilities of helicopters with the speed, range, altitude and endurance of fixed-wing transports. The Marine Corps Osprey, the MV-22, is the replacement for the Marine Corps CH-46E Sea Knight medium-lift assault support helicopter. The Osprey provides twice the speed, six times the range, and three times the payload of the Sea Knight.
RIDLEY TOWNSHIP — At 10:43 a.m., Reggie Price looked to the sky as the V-22 Osprey emerged from the clouds over the Delaware River by the Boeing Company’s Delaware County facility and he pumped his fists. (…) The aircraft was visiting for the day on a dual mission after an hour and a half flight from New River, N.C., where it’s based with the Marine Operational Test Evaluation Squadron 22. About a third of plant’s 6,200 employees work on the V-22’s fuselage, empennage, digital avionics and fly-by-wire flight-control systems. The remainder of the tiltrotor aircraft from the wings, the transmissions, rotor systems and final assembly is finished in Amarillo, Texas, by Boeing partner, Bell Helicopter Textron Inc.
“When you have employees working day in and day out building the aircraft (and) they get to see the capabilities here and they’re quite proud of what it can do and they’re quite proud of the performance,” Kristin Robertson said. (…)
The US plans to sell six tilt-rotor Osprey aircraft to Israel, the Pentagon formally notified Congress on Tuesday. srael will become the first country allowed to purchase the aircraft, which can take off like a helicopter and fly like a regular airplane, as part of a long-term deal reportedly worth $1.13 billion (NIS 3.94 billion). (…)
In what has easily the biggest development in defense news this week, Congress just received notice that the United States is exporting cutting-edge tiltrotor technology to Israel.
More amazingly – the six V-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft that Israel will be buying were originally supposed to go to the U.S. Marines, currently fighting a shooting war in Afghanistan. (…)

Le V-22 s'est imposé peu à peu comme un appareil clé dans le déploiement rapide de commandos.
