V22 as Grumman C-2 greyhound Replacement
A change of direction here.
The UK is, in my opinion, going to require some sort of aircraft that can be utilised in the same manner as the USA make use of the Greyhound for its QE II carriers. It will have to be VSTOL & could possibly may use of a ramp for assisted take off (I suspect the V22 may not like this, but could be wrong).
The V22 and Greyound are able to carry similar weight loads and person numbers. Ranges are different (Greyhound has a significantly better range).
Do people see the V22 as being a suitable Greyhound replacement? If so why? If not a suitable replacement, why not? Is there an aircraft better suited to this role?
Cheers,
Hval.
