It is truly amazing, the extent some people will go to try to make the V-22 a success where it is not. Like that former U.S. Secretary of Defense, John Lehman. His little opinion piece in the...

There is no doubt that the military would like a gunship version of the V-22. The U.S. Air Force has probably been experimenting with such a thing for a while but just hasn't admitted it until now. ...

To me, events like the one in Bor, South Sudan are hilarious. Yes, hilarious. The tiltrotor Kool-Aid drinkers continue to fantasize that the V-22 is "better" than a conventional helicopter. To...

At least a '53 would have hit upright (like the Lead V-22, Nighthawk 71 did), not inverted and ensuring that it would be unsurvivable. Below 800 feet or so, A-VRS is unsurvivable. Marana proved that.
