JAPS GET THE V-22 OSPREY

this thing kills itself a lot.

>>139150541
Compare it's mishap record with all other military aircraft

then kill yourself a lot

Will it withstand Mothra tho?

>>139150376
Since it has two separate rotors does that mean it could kill two of Jacques Cousteau's sons at once?

>>139150376

>>139150678
So the number of mishaps for the osprey is equal to all other us military aircraft mishaps combined? Sounds like a flying deathtrap

>>139151369
yes, but with no survivors

Is this thread about Japan, the plane or you

>>139151369
Look here it's "landing" on it's left engine. That's a great photo of one of the safest landing recorded

>>139151020

>>139150376
is it a plane? a helicopter?

Yeah sorry, me again, does it have an ejector seat given the gap between the blades?

I did warn you.

Isnt this thing more dangerous than the fucking harrier.

Low calibre aircraft for low calibre pilot, seems fitting to an ex-mil thats browsing an anime image board

The Osprey has always been extraneous equipment. In level flight, it provides a bit more speed than a helicopter, with very mild tactical advantage gained, but at the cost of a very dangerous and highly maintenance intensive platform.

Nobody else uses that concept. Guess why?

>>139151901
Why not both?

They get it for their "aircraft" carrier if i'm not mistaken. Anyway the V22 is ugly af

>>139150376

are the controls still as wonky as a test versions or have they fixed than since full introduction.

>>139150376

Why aren't you dead?

>>139150376
which group finds it easier to adjust to and fly; plane pilots or helicopter pilots?

Japan is a strong ally and I admire their country's strong nationalism

>>139151369
pilot here, if one engine dies both would need to go up, idle the one still working and glide down to land

that's how choppers land when their engine fails

>>139152713

That's why the development of this aircraft took so much time. The yhad to find an answer for this issue

There is a link between the two blade/engine. So if one engine dies, one engine have to propelled the two blade.

Yes pic related. There is an interconnecting driveshaft going through the wing that connects all engines and gearboxes. It can fly, transition, hover, and land all on one engine. Retards will tell you one propeller will stop spinning.

>>139151396
Yes and I've done it

>>139151452
None now ;)

>>139151901
This aircraft design is actually called a tiltrotor, and aircraft like it have been made since the 1950s. The Osprey was birthed in 1980, fyi.

>>139152021
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
>What is effective range
>"In level flight, it provides a bit more speed than a helicopter, with very mild tactical advantage gained"
You are such a low IQ faggot I don't even know where to begin. The Osprey flys circles around rotary aircraft and has range that FAR exceeds it's contemporaries. The Osprey can fly from one side of Iraq to the other in about two others. Let me know what other helo can match that. There is a reason it is highly prized as a TRAP aircraft. You however are a brainlet and actual military tactics goes far beyond your scope. Stick to minecraft faggot.

>>139152075
>I'm ignorant of the Navy and Marine designation of Plane Captain but let me call you on your LaRp
Hahahaha another retard

Not sure what you mean

>>139152643
None but I slayed your mom's pussy

>>139151942
No, in airplane mode the blades literally come within inches of the fuselage. It's highly plausible in either mode that the pilot could get chopped up by the blades, plus where the fuck does that leave the passengers?

>>139152832
>/pol/ always bitching about propaganda
>believes every word of it RE: V-22

>>139152838
Good question. iirc the jet guys always have more trouble adjusting because flying a helo is not as intuitive or easy as flying an airplane. Add them together especially when flying in conversion mode [cont]

Where's the number two engine?

>>139160119
Well he is rather sophisticated, otherwise they would call him the Plain Captain

>>139150376
Does it waste a a lot of fuel?

>>139150376
1. It's like flying in a scarier version of the MH-53

2. It needs way to big of an LZ to fly to the X, so it's not suitable to fly X or even offset X.

Because it can't land on the X, it needs to do offset infil, but because it's so loud you need at least a 7Km infil to mask the noise.

Tactically, it's nowhere near as good as an MH-60/MH-47, or MH-6.

As a caveat, I'm removing fast roping from the equation for a couple of reasons. First, we never fast rope in real life because it's way too fucking dangerous and two the MV-22 is even more dangerous to do it out of than a helo.

Those are my complaints about the airframe, it has advantages for many other reasons and for convention (forces) lift I think it's really awesome.

>>139152838
...and it can get difficult. However, all Osprey pilots get both their airplane and helo licenses before going to Osprey flight school, so it's not like they're just thrown to the dogs. Most pilots adjust just fine.

>>139154559
>Osprey
>Lockheed
ha, retard

>>139160119
Plane Captain means I earned the qualification of inspecting the aircraft for a ready-for-flight basis. That means opening up the engine nacelles, looking at all gearboxes, wiring, check oil levels, inspect the propellor drive tube, land gear areas, fuselage interior, avionics systems, fuel quality, etc. Almost the entire plane is inspected daily. If I'm doing it by myself, it can take up to around two hours if there is maybe a lot of dirt/oil, or oil that I need to replenish

>>139153308
>pol still does not understand what licensing it.

>>139161631
Oh haha I thought you were a pilot. 2 hours to do a preflight walkaround? That would take about 5 minutes on a comparable sized helicopter or fixed wing aircraft.

>>139161270
Not sure what you mean by waste exactly. But no.

>>139161420
>Muh LZ size
>Fighting primarily in arid wide desert environment for nearly two decades
>Muh tactical applicashunns

Yeah flying slow as dogshit in a giant grey schoolbus, really tactical my dude

All very cute. I guess that's why I never dropped off a bunch of tier one spooks with their 4 eye'd nightvision and shitohwaitIdid

fast roping is a meme anyway

>>139150376
How many times have you been killed in one?

>>139162056
Yeah it can take some time. That's why they torment us about getting the qualification (lots of studying) so the squadrons can have as many plane captains as possible. Put 3 plane captains on one inspection and suddenly the plane is done in 20 min

>>139162056
Also my job title is Crew Chief. "Plane Captain" is a qualification

>>139162155
How many times did an emu rape your whore mother

600 hours of flight

god knows how many hours inspecting aircraft

>>139150740
Ospreys faired poorly against Transformers, mothra will be likely be a similar story :(

>>139162726
600 hours of flight as the pilot in command or riding as a passenger?

>>139160379
is a TRAP aircraft what it sounds like it is i.e, a /b/ -posting trap ? a airplane look like a chopper ?

>>139162135
Thank you for agreeing with me.

>and shitohwaitIdid

We used MV-22's for what amounted to ~2 of our rotations. We requested not to use them again or at a minimum not to be limited to their support.

We even took conventional RW lift in lieu of 160th being able to support just so that we had the tactial flexibility to conduct operations in their most optimal manner.

eg. going to the X.

For flights out to isolated compounds in Helmand, sure, take the MV-22.

>>139162872

>>139163990
Yeah no pilot could check the oil himself.

>>139163906
I don't specifically know. But the Osprey has been at Okinawa for some time now so the Japanese have been witnessing its capabilities. A lot of countries are recognizing the advatages of a tiltrotor platform. I heard Chyna is trying to develop their own, and UK is looking to buy too

That feel when was onboard one that crashed in Helmand.

Good times man.

For a dual engine failure? Osprey is fucked no matter what altitude. It doesn't

Speak of the devil. An Osprey just flew over my house (really, not LARPing about WWIII). It's only the 2nd or 3rd time i've ever seen one. I live in Las Vegas but on the far West side of town, on the opposite side of the valley from Nellis AFB.

This is only the 4th-5th time in 5 years that i've seen military aircraft fly over, 4 of the 5 times coming in the last 2 weeks. They are much louder than commercial aircraft and they don't usually fly over the city. In the last 2 weeks i've seen Black Hawks fly over 3 times. Each time going East to West from Nellis to somewhere.

Normally they fly from Nellis to the North where they have most of the state of NV as a training grounds. (Area 51, 52, 53 and Creech AFB where they fly drones just north of Vegas)

So that's why my company is starting to ramp up v-22 parts production. Glad I found this thread.

If it is an effective piece of equipment, I give my wholehearted blessing. I have worked with Japanese in the past and have nothing but respect for them and feel that they are our best allies in that region if not the world. How about that, Sarge? Or is it Bosun?
