Informations supplémentaires:
The Bell-Boeing V-22 Osprey can transport 24 combat troops, 20, 000 pounds of internal or up to 15, 000 pounds of external cargo using its medium lift and vertical takeoff and landing capabilities. It meets U.S. Navy requirements for combat search and rescue, fleet logistics support, and special warfare support. The V-22 matches the U.S. Special Operations Command's requirement for a high-speed, long-range, vertical lift aircraft can be stored aboard an aircraft carrier or assault ship because the rotors can fold and the wings rotate. This aircraft has air-to-air refueling capability, the cornerstone of the ability to self-deploy. The V-22 has increased speed because it's twice as fast as a helicopter. It has a much longer range resulting in greater mission versatility than a helicopter. With multi-mission capability: amphibious assault, combat support, long-range special ops infiltration and exfiltration, transport, search and rescue, medevac, and, in the future, tanker capability.
