ShyTorque, if pushing the collective forward doesn't get you out of VRS I suppose you could always get out and push the helicopter forward, no?

Evalu8ter, you clearly have a very sophisticated understanding of the modern battlefield (I myself have none) and I can see now where the V-22 would come in handy. Having said that, as Fg Off Max Stout points out, double engine failures do occur. I just cannot understand how the Pentagon could go forward with an aircraft (one meant to carry a whole complement of troops no less) that is unable to deal with this particular emergency. Is it just a waiting game now to see when the first V-22 malfunctions spectacularly?
