Modern Aircraft ? The MV-22 Tilt Rotor

The new United States Marine Corps aircraft, the flight is to take neither aircraft nor helicopters. This is a tilt-rotor and officially known as the lift of an airplane engine. Powered lift aircraft can launch and land vertically like a helicopter, but they work like an airplane at cruising altitude.

While the MV-22, the last aircraft in the inventory of the Marine Corps is the first flight took place almost 20 years ago, March 1989. TheOsprey is a joint effort by a number of large aircraft companies. Bell Helicopter is the wing, nacelles, propulsion system, tail and the rear cargo ramp. Rolls Royce makes the engines. Boeing makes the helicopter fuselage, cockpit, avionics and flight control.

The MV-22 is the result of research by Bell Helicopter in cooperation with NASA and the U.S. military in the form of conducted XV-15. XV-15 was a technology demonstrator built to explore the concept of tilt-rotorFlight for both civilian and military tasks. The first flight was May 1977. There are a total of two aircraft were built. XV-15 has played a significant role in the development of MV-22. Built by the two XV-15, one crashed in 1992 and the remainder was sent to the Smithsonian in 2003 after he transferred back from the test flight operations.

The MV-22 has its share of problems and setbacks. The program has two fatal accidents with the loss of all aboard, and suffered a series ofminor accidents. The combination of a new hybrid aircraft that the planning, design and operational methods to prevent, reduce obstacles in the path of development, construction and flight test team needed. It seems that the problems that plagued the program has been fixed. The MV-22 aircraft has passed its final evaluation in June 2005. These flights are designed to simulate the actual conditions and operations, including shipboard operations, combat insertions and extractions,Long-haul operations, high altitude operations, transactions and operations in the desert cold.

The MV-22 is designed for mass production was approved in September 2005. It is giving the first tilt rotor aircraft production. The first operational squadron of Marine Corps tilt rotor, VMM-263 will be deployed to Iraq in autumn 2007.

The MV-22 features a glass cockpit which uses a total of five screens. Two multi-function display (MFD) for each pilot and a common centralDisplay. The system can be viewed by the driver to information about the navigation, terrain, climate, and functioning of motor systems and the state, Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR), moving pictures and maps in a variety of ways. The aircraft is connected to an automatic flight control system (autopilot) equipped can transition from forward flight of the aircraft to a hover 50 feet hands.

The Osprey is flying cable, which means that there is no mechanical connection between the pilots'controls in the cockpit and the Osprey?s flight control surfaces. Instead computers measure the force being applied to a particular control, interpret what the pilot wants the aircraft to do and move the flight controls accordingly.

The VM-22 will revolutionize vertical envelopment warfare, which the Marine Corps began developing in the late 1940?s. The Air Force and Navy are also set to receive the Osprey.

In Air Force service it will operate with the Special Operations Command where it?s speed and versatility are an ideal fit for the command?s mission, deep insertion and extraction of special operations forces. The Navy version will be used for combat search and rescue, fleet logistics, and to insert and extract SEAL teams.

A civilian version of the tilt rotor also exists. It?s the Bell 609 and its expected to receive FAA certification by 2010.
