| Do you think it would really raise more of a dust storm than something like the Chinook?
From my oh so well informed civilian perspective (yeah, sarcasm), the Osprey seems to be a solution without a problem. While it does have an advantage or two, it also seems that fixed and rotary wing aircraft already do a better job in their respective niches than the Osprey can do trying to cover both. If you need greater speed and transport capacity, the C-130 can do the job. If you need vertical take off and insertion capability, the beloved UH-60 awaits your command. |
