V-22 Osprey

Initial Operational Capability (IOC) : 2007
Total Production : 470
Total Cost : USD $53 billion

The V-22 Osprey is a multi-mission, tilt-rotor aircraft with vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) capability. It performs VTOL missions as effective as a conventional helicopter while also having the long range cruise abilities of a twin-turboprop aircraft. The V-22 features a tilt-rotor mounted on each wing tip with its corresponding engine/transmission nacelle. It can operate as a helicopter for takeoff and landing operations and otherwise required. Once airborne, the nacelles rotate forward 90-degree for horizontal flight, converting the V-22 to a high-speed airplane. The V-22's wing rotates for compact storage aboard ships. The V-22 will carry cargo externally and internally and will be armed with two 12.7mm guns. For improved survivability the V-22 includes cross-coupled transmissions so either engine can power the rotors if one engine fails.

MV-22C Osprey

Group : VTOL Military Transport Aircrafts
Status : Active
Also Known As : MV-22A Osprey (original designation), MV-22B Osprey
Origin : United States of America
Contractors : Boeing, Textron
Initial Operational Capability (IOC) : 2007
Total Production : 369
Unitary Cost : USD $116 million

Current program status (2004) allows Bell Boeing to continue the low rate initial production (LRIP) phase with deliveries of at least 11 aircraft per year. After 2011, it is planned that the V-22 production rate will grow to 48 per year. The MV-22A will be an assault transport for troops, equipment and supplies, and will be capable of operating from ships and austere airfields. The USMC plans to purchase up to 360 MV-22s to perform vertical assault missions.

According to 2004 official reports, the USMC MV-22 initial operational capability (IOC) will be delayed from September 2004 to March 2007, and the US Air Force CV-22 is expected to complete its initial operational test and evaluation in September 2007 (June 2006 originally). Bell-Boeing joint program office received a $850 million acquisition contract for long lead effort and materials associated with the manufacture and delivery of 11 fiscal year 2006 Lot 10 low rate initial production (LRIP) V-22 aircraft January 24, 2005. Lot 10 includes 9 MV-22 for the Marine Corps and two CV-22 for the Air Force.

On 27 December 2005, Bell-Boeing Joint Program Office was awarded a $1.06 billion contract by the US Navy for procurement of 14 fiscal year 2007 Lot 11 MV-22 and 2 Lot 11 CV-22 aircraft. The 16 V-22 aircraft were expected to be delivered before September 2009. In January 2006 Bell/Boeing delivered the first MV-22 Block B aircraft to the US Marine Corps. The Marine Corps plans call for the first MV-22 aircraft to be deployed in support of combat operations in late 2007.

Initial Operational Capability (IOC) : 2009
Total Production : 50
Unitary Cost : USD $116 million

The CV-22A will conduct long range special operations missions. The US Air Force plans to purchase up to 50 CV-22s through 2017 with an initial operational capability (IOC) planned for 2009. The first operational CV-22 will be handed over to the US Air Force December 2006 at Hurlburt Field, Florida. According to 2004 official reports, the USMC MV-22 initial operational capability (IOC) will be delayed from September 2004 to March 2007, and the US Air Force CV-22 is expected to complete its initial operational test and evaluation in September 2007 (June 2006 originally).

Lot 10 includes 9 MV-22 for the Marine Corps and two CV-22s for the Air Force. In February 2005, the US Air Force received its third CV-22 Osprey tilt-rotor test aircraft at Edwards Air Force Base, California. These three aircraft were planned to undergo operational testing beginning in summer 2006. CV-22s will be modified to perform as Special Operations Command aircraft through night flying, low altitude operations in bad weather, and research and rescue (SAR).

On 27 December 2005, Bell-Boeing Joint Program Office was awarded a $1.06 billion contract by the US Navy for procurement of 14 fiscal year 2007 Lot 11 MV-22 and 2 Lot 11 CV-22 aircraft. The 16 V-22 aircraft were expected to be delivered before September 2009. In March 2006 the United States Air Force took delivery of the first operational CV-22 Block 10 aircraft paving the way for an initial operational capability in 2009. As of 2006 the US Air Force plans to procure up to 50 CV-22 Ospreys to be delivered to the Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) by 2017.
