Un KC-46 reabastece por primera vez a un CV-22: https://www.airforcemag.com/kc-46-tanke ... -1st-time/

El 5 de agosto de 2017, un MV-22 Osprey del Cuerpo de Marines se estrelló frente a la costa de Australia mientras se acercaba al anfibio USS Green Bay (LPD-20). Tres infantes de marina perdieron la vida en el accidente, mientras que 23 fueron rescatados con heridas leves. El video muestra al aparato durante la aproximación final mientras se le dirige a su lugar de aterrizaje. De repente el Osprey gira alrededor de su eje para colocarse en la posición correcta para el aterrizaje, aparentemente perdió sustentación en el lado izquierdo, golpeando la cubierta de vuelo con la góndola del motor izquierdo mientras que la sección de la cabina golpeó el lado de estribor del buque, antes de caer al mar. Incluye otros dos incidentes que no tienen nada que ver con este.

Un año después, el USMC publicó el informe de investigación, donde se determinó que la aeronave se estrelló debido a que se enfrentó a demasiada corriente descendente y no tuvo el empuje para mantener su vuelo estacionario, el video se hizo desde la cubierta y hasta el 2 de julio de este año no se publicó,

Otro contratiempo más para la flota de V-22: https://www.defensenews.com/naval/2023/ ... art-fixed/

WASHINGTON — An undisclosed number of V-22 Ospreys across three services will halt operations until a component tied to the engine is replaced, a defense official said Saturday, as part of an ongoing effort to address a hard clutch engagement issue that first alarmed the Air Force in summer 2022.

At issue is the input quill assembly, which attaches the Osprey’s engine to its prop-rotor gear box. The V-22 Joint Program Office on Saturday announced a time limit for these parts’ use, after a recent data analytics effort showed a clear connection between the age of the input quill assemblies and the aircraft’s likelihood of experiencing a hard clutch engagement.

Bueno, parece que se estan poniendo los clavos en el ataud de la produccion del bicho. Un poco repetir la historia del C17, incluso con menos exito. La aeronave no se ha vendido fuera apenas, los costes no se han contenido y la produccion termina.
