Very finicky Vince Anyone want a pool on how soon after arrival in Iraq the first V-22 goes down? Limits are during first flight to no aircraft lost in 60 days. |

How about we bet on how soon some one gives you an "Indian beauty mark"? -- Heaven is where the police are British, the chefs Italian, the mechanics German, the lovers French and it is all organized by the Swiss.

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.

That's not the same as losing a rotor blade.. Most helicopters (It might even be a design requirement) can auto-rotate if the engine(s) fail. The V-22 can't... I doubt any V-22 can land shy of a rotor blade. As for a helicopter.. I guess it might depend on how many the helicopter had to start with, how heavy the helicopter and load is... |

No, if a helicopter loses a rotor blade that loss of balance will destroy the aircraft... BB I guess everybody has some mountain to climb. It's just fate whether you live in Kansas or Tibet... |
