Why? Other (conventional) rotary aircraft currently within operating

It's not illogical if the V-22 is so much more susceptible to this that
the frequency of occurence during routine use is far greater than normal
helos.

But that's the thing.

It's not. It's just that they were trying something *very* far off
normal flight regimes, and it bit them.

Most copters damn near have to have their rotors fall off to get that
sort of sink rate.
