US Marines Plan Mechanical Improvements To V-22 Osprey

The 2025 Marine Aviation Plan as originally reported by FlightGlobal shows the US Marines are committed to making the V-22 Osprey safer to fly. Several improvements are in the works for the V-22 Osprey, such as an Osprey Drive System Safety and Health Instrumentation to advise better aircrew of potential issues, better steel used in the replacing proprietor gearboxes (PRGB), and a redesigned Input Quill Assembly (IQA) to prevent future hard clutch engagements that can cause V-22s to lose power.
