The article above reportis that one of the 2 V-22s (actually 3) experienced a compressor stall and was having the engine replaced, Bell spokesman Bob Leder said compressor stalls in such engines were "really nothing." "These kind of engine problems are very normal, not only within military aircraft, but in commercial aircraft," he said.
REALLY! I wonder what else Bell puts out that's "very normal" like this?
And perhaps the worse is news that all 3 V-22s participating in this effort experienced compressor stalls over a 4-day period!
Is this what they call "Breaking News" or is this "really nothing" and "very normal" with Bell products or perhaps it's because the V-22 has had only 2 decades to go from dream to reality?
