It is these technologies that caused almost all of the Osprey's reported issues. Tiltrotor technology was proven out on thousands of XV-15 flight tests. Had the tiltrotor concept never occured, these cutting edge technologies would have caused similar problems on conventional helicopter designs.<br /><br />CTRAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
