Compromising control of the rotor sounds like a fatal crash to me. I
have seen military blogs that say that all of the production must be
finished and accepted before the first major accident can occur.
Wishing or making sure?
This is the type of stuff that happens with any new aircraft. We
"learn by doing". With something as complex and as "different" as the
Osprey, we will probably see a significant list of these issues. And
yes, some of them will probably cause accidents before the learning is
all over.
