Thumper702 Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 The OV-22 was actually flying today in Las Vegas, I got some video footage for those that wish to see this NEW aircraft for the USMC. It would be cool to see this thing in a sim. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximus_G Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Thanks for the vid! I personally would like it even more if there was no intentional blur. BTW, the thing is pretty silent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skopro_PL Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 i dont know if i would want to be in that thing as a marine,if it loses an engine u can kiss u know what goodbye...would rather be in a ch-53 at least u can auto rotate and perhaps have a chance...my 2 cents, butit was pretty silent and had a distictive sound to it that i liked.. | 8700k @4.9 | Gigabyte Gaming 7 | 32gb Tridentz @3000 | EVGA 1080 TI SC2 | CV1 | VKB MCG PRO [sigpic]https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FeLGqKyJ3K08k3z-7XaegWgRuGRGkKUs/view?usp=sharing[/sigpic] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The turbines are linked, so if one fails, the remaining one will go to emergency power, making a normal landing possible, but with a performance penalty (duh). I'm waiting for the first 'horizontal flight configuration' emergency landing video, must be very cool, flare, flare, speed drops, then *bang* all rotors are gone, gear collapses, lots of sparks, and then the angry pilots climb out :D Creedence Clearwater Revival:worthy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt.LoneRanger Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I doubt the engineers forgot all they learned from the 2 rotor helicopters, when they built this machine. :smilewink: I think this is an awesome step into the future. It has overcome the (speed-)limits of an helicopter and is allready finding it's place as an airtaxi in some major cities around the world. Besides that, as the movie shows, this baby sounds awesome! :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the 53, just make sure you feel hot hydraulic fluid splashing on your kevlar and trickling down your neck fairly often. If its not leaking on you, THAT'S when you need to be scared. :smilewink: I wonder how the V-22 handles vortex rings. Does anybody know if it has an RCS of some type on it? I guess it must.

Thumper702 Posted November 13, 2006 Author Share Posted November 13, 2006 Maximus, It was no intentional blur, takes a few seconds for the camera to focus and the zoom lens caused blur on outside as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

britgliderpilot Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Saw it at Farnborough this year. It wasn't quiet then ;) The engine-loss system is all well and good - what worries me is damage to the hydraulics . . . . Still - maybe there's something I don't know about it ;) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v121/britgliderpilot/BS2Britgliderpilot-1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
