Osprey safety issues were allowed to grow, Navy finds
A Navy report acknowledges the military failed to address a growing series of issues with the V-22 Osprey aircraft since it took flight almost 20 years ago. The report follows a spate of accidents that have claimed the lives of 20 service members in the past four years. The report released Friday says the office in charge of the Osprey didn't promptly make changes to ease risks. The investigation reveals the Osprey has the “second highest number of catastrophic risks across all Naval Aviation platforms” and those risks have gone unresolved for an average of over 10 years. The Osprey is the only aircraft to fly like a plane but land like a helicopter.
