Navy Greyhound Replacement First Flight

The first CMV-22 has flown with first deployment in 2021. Excerpt highlights the improvements over the C-2 Greyhound it is replacing.

Compared to the current aircraft, the C-2A Greyhound, the CMV-22B has an increased range, more cargo capacity, enhanced beyond-line-of-sight communications, and offers quicker cargo loading and unloading, according to the Navy. “The most notable structural difference between existing V-22 variants and the CMV-22B that can be seen in the photo is the bulbous fuel tank extensions to the forward portion of the sponsons on either side of the aircraft”
