V-22 Joint Programme Grounds Tilt Rotor Aircraft
The U.S. military recently issued a new flight restriction for the V-22 Osprey, grounding an undisclosed number of tilt rotors to fix the hard clutch engagement issue that was behind the other flight restriction issued last year. The decision follows a recommendation from the Pentagon’s V-22 Joint Programme Office based on a “progressive increase in hard clutch engagement events and ongoing engineering analysis”.
