This ain't your grandpa's V-22

"This ain't your grandpa's V-22," said Maj. David Lane, of the U.S.
Marine Corps. "This aircraft is phenomenally safe. I've got a family. I
wouldn't strap myself in if I wasn't comfortable with where it stands
and where it was at."

Has it really been in development that long? ;-)

I think it has been in development forever, :-) at least it seems like it.

We were lake fishing in central NC this past Saturday 6/10 and I saw
two aircraft that appeared to be V-22 passing towards the SE which
would be in the general direction of Cherry Point MCAS. Too distant
for definite identification but I'm pretty sure they were V-22s.

Probably a lot longer than you're indicating (or that you
know!)...it seems most odd that it's NEVER mentioned in any info
I've seen but this aircraft was designed and flown by Canadair in
Montreal in the EARLY SIXTIES!...it was known as the CL-84
Dynavert. First flew in 1965.

Nope, the Dynavert rotated its wings out of the way of the prop airflow
for greater efficiency, so it was a completely different design.

And then in the 1970s Bell designed and built the XV-15 tilt rotor
demonstration aircraft for NASA research.

I suppose you believe that the development of the SR-71 started on a
windy day at Kitty Hawk too, eh?

No it didn't, it worked exactly like the V-22, both engines were
mounted on the wings which tilted up to the vertical...take a
look at the URL I supplied...

And one could claim that it was inspired by the Focke-Wulf 61 ;-)

Quite brilliant son, you hadn't better give up your day job WBMA.

The XV-15 did not tilt the wing (only the engine pods at the
wingtips) as both the CL-84 and the V-22 do.
