Why? Other (conventional) rotary aircraft currently within operating
inventopries are susceptable to VRS and manage to handle it by knowing
the
limits--why do you think the V-22 should somehow be different?
Illogical.

"This asymmetrical VRS phenomenon, which is unique to side-by-side
rotor configurations, will have the initial resultant effect of
inducing a large rolling moment in the yaw direction."

That's what's different about it.

So what? The chief test pilot said that after the latest flight tests they
feel comfortable with thier procedures to handle it--that carries a heck of
a lot more water than what either you or that "former" OT&E guy have to say
about the matter.
