Since its introduction to the United States Marine Corps in 2007, the MV-22 Osprey has become a staple of Marine Corps aviation. It has a storied history with the Corps and is effectively the workhorse in getting Marines to and from their objectives.
Unlike most rotor-based aircraft, the Osprey has a unique ability... At takeoff and landing, the Osprey's rotors are positioned vertically, functioning like a helicopter... This transformation allows the Osprey to achieve much greater speeds than conventional helicopters.
The MV-22 has a range of over 1,000 nautical miles and can carry up to 24 troops or 20,000 pounds of cargo... With this incredible functionality and speed, the Marine Corps put the Osprey to the test in operations across Iraq and Afghanistan.
As modern warfare continues to evolve, the Osprey has found a place in one of the fiercest fighting forces on the planet.
