Precision high-performance components mean close tolerances - and
fine Arabic sand is the enemy of close tolerance bearings and fittings.

And this is different from the existing helos, how?


Well.. Most of them can auto-rotate.. while the V-22... can't...

it also has a unique 5000 psi hydraulic system. Very finicky

Most new a/c have 8000 psi systems.
Why do you think 5000 psi is finicky?
