Re: V22 Osprey
Nick,
I agree the V-22 is a giant vortex ring for sucking up money. The U.S. gov has put in 12 billion and since the gov is probably the only customer the true cost need to apportion the development cost into each unit. That would be staggering.
But that is how the U.S. does things. The design should have been put out to bid for several companies to compete. And they should have started small first in my opinion.
