Editorial Reviews

Product Description
This joint Bell and Boeing project was established in 1982 in response to the Joint Services Advanced Vertical Lift Program covering a wide performance envelope and multiple tasks. The answer came in the form of the V-22 tilt-rotor, a concept tested earlier by Bell with their 1977 XV-15. The transport aircraft style fuselage of the V-22, able to carry 24 troops, is topped by a wing with a complex flap/aileron system and two swivelling pods housing Rolls-Royce turboshaft engines, each driving enormous three-bladed prop-rotors. The intention was that the USAF would receive the CV-22B for special missions work, the US Marine Corps the MV-22B assault transports and the US Navy the HV-22B CSAR/fleet logistics version, but the technologically challenging program has been set back by fatal accidents and an 18-month grounding while flight safety issues were addressed. However, it is set to recommence a restricted development program with the intention that the production aircraft will begin to be delivered at the end of 2003 and gain initial operating capability by 2005, making this comprehensive new book a timely in-depth coverage of the aircraft.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding book, August 17, 2004
By Kenneth P. Katz (Kansas, United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Bill Norton, the author of this book is particularly well qualified, He is a retired USAF officer, a highly respected flight test engineer, an accomplished aviation writer, and worked on the V-22 Osprey program.

This is a truly outstanding book, which chronicles the history of the program in much detail. The technical description of the unique V-22 is superb, as are the many photographs and diagrams. While covering a complex subject, the prose is readable and the book is well-organized.

This book is a must-have for the aviation enthusiast with an interest in the V-22 Osprey.
