In the past on other programs as well as on the V-22 many of my suggestions were ignored for cost reasons and for many other reasons including department management attitude or from the NIH attitude of engineering. I wasn’t the only one ignored but on this forum I can only speak for myself. In the case of the V-22 problem described above it was because of the adversarial relationship between the Product Integrity departments of Bell and Boeing. They did not talk with each other and when they did, nobody listened. That is the way of the aviation industry.
