CV-22 Ospreys Makes Its Debut with Special Forces


The United States Special Forces have been well known for its best equipments and latest warfare.
CV-22 Ospreys will soon join the list. The Air Force’s newest addition, the CV-22 Osprey, has been in the limelight since its arrival in March. What makes the CV-22 so unique is something no other aircraft in the world can do. Its tiltrotor capability allows the aircraft to travel long distances at speeds similar to a C-130, but take off and land like a helicopter. This capability of this aircraft makes it the best suited for adverse conditions like landing on mountains or anywhere it finds a dry spot. The aircraft can also travel long distances without need of refueling.Bell-Boeing will provide performance-based support for the first nine production CV-22s for aircraft maintenance, reliability, supply and repairs, technical data and interactive electronic technical manuals, engineering, information technology, field service and logistics support.As the Osprey enters the force in the years ahead, the Forces plans to trim their weapon program to maintain a steady economy of 3% defense spending.
