CV-22 Osprey History:
The CV-22 Osprey is a joint service, multimission, military
tiltrotor aircraft. It combines the vertical takeoff and landing
qualities of a helicopter with the long range, fuel efficiency and
speed characteristics of a turboprop aircraft. Built by the joint
development team of Bell Helicopter Textron and Boeing Helicopters
collectively known as Bell Boeing, its primary role is to conduct
long range infiltration, exfiltration and resupply missions for
special operations forces. The CV-22 is the United States Air Force
version of the US Marine Corps MV-22 Osprey.
Formally approved for full-rate production by the Pentagon on
September 28, 2005, the Osprey is the world's first production
tiltrotor aircraft. The CV-22 is versatile and self-deployable,
offering increased speed and range over other rotary wing aircraft.
It can perform missions that would normally require both fixed wing
and rotary wing aircraft. It is equipped with integrated threat
countermeasures, a terrain-following radar, a forward-looking
infrared sensor, and other advanced avionics systems that allow it
to operate at low altitude in adverse weather conditions and medium
to high threat environments.
The first two test aircraft were delivered to Edwards Air Force
Base (AFB), California in September 2000 for flight testing. The
first operational CV-22 was delivered to the 58th Special Operations
Wing at Kirtland AFB, New Mexico on March 20, 2006, and aircrew
training began in August 2006. Initial operating capability of the
aircraft is scheduled for 2009, with a total of 50 CV-22s delivered
by 2017.
