Navy special operations command version of the V-22 Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft
BOEING CO. and the Bell Helicopter unit of TEXTRON INC. won a $208 million contract for work on the special operations command version of the V-22 Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft, the Navy said on Tuesday. The Bell-Boeing Joint Program Office won the contract to work on the CV-22 Block 0 and 10 Development Program and extend flight tests of the CV-22 version of the controversial aircraft, the Navy said. The V-22 resumed flight tests in May 2002 -- 17 months after fatal crashes grounded it and raised serious doubts about the technology in the $46 billion program. But Ward Carroll, spokesman for the program, said the aircraft was doing well and was ready to shift from development flight tests to operational flight tests this fall.
