[quote]Rolls-Royce has completed a successful flight test of its new engine upgrade for the V-22.

Company officials say the test, conducted in New Mexico earlier this summer, met expectations of a 17 percent power increase to the engines. That will enable the Osprey to fly at 6,000 feet in 95 degree temperatures*, an improvement that would address a major challenge to V-22 operations in regions such as the Middle East.[/quote]

[quote]A U.S. Marine who fell into the sea after his Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft lost power has become the first American to be killed in the ongoing air campaign against Islamic State militants.

Cpl. Jordan Spears, 21, bailed out of a V-22 Osprey that ran into trouble as it was taking off on Wednesday from the USS Makin Island, an amphibious assault ship supporting the U.S.-led air campaign against the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria. It was his first deployment.[/quote]
