Precision high-performance components mean close tolerances - and

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.
Which aircraft?
Why do you think 5000 psi is finicky?
Because what the hydraulics do in the V-22 is very complex in a very
constricted environment.
