The MV 22 Osprey is the Marine Corps's

00:04.800 --> 00:07.310
medium lift capable tilt rotor , short

00:07.310 --> 00:09.440
takeoff and landing aircraft . It has

00:09.440 --> 00:11.410
the speed and range of a turboprop

00:11.410 --> 00:13.521
airplane and the maneuverability of a

00:13.521 --> 00:16.250
helicopter . It offers a maximum speed

00:16.250 --> 00:19.520
of 280 knots , more than £15,000

00:19.530 --> 00:21.730
external lift capability , a range of

00:21.730 --> 00:23.841
more than 400 nautical miles , with a

00:23.841 --> 00:26.220
full combat load of 24 troops and the

00:26.220 --> 00:28.260
ability to conduct midair refueling

00:28.270 --> 00:30.048
augmenting range indefinitely .

00:32.490 --> 00:35.020
Since its introduction in 2007 , the

00:35.020 --> 00:37.187
Osprey has been critical to the Marine

00:37.187 --> 00:39.464
Corps's mission of transporting troops ,

00:39.464 --> 00:41.576
equipment and supplies from ships and

00:41.576 --> 00:43.576
land bases for combat , assault and

00:43.576 --> 00:45.520
assault support emissions . It has

00:45.520 --> 00:47.742
conducted combat operations in Iraq and

00:47.742 --> 00:49.576
Afghanistan and flown across the

00:49.576 --> 00:51.798
islands of Japan , deserts of Australia

00:51.798 --> 00:53.798
and aboard naval vessels around the

00:53.798 --> 00:56.830
globe flying the Osprey , you get the

00:56.830 --> 00:58.997
best of two worlds , fixed wing flying

00:58.997 --> 01:01.219
high and fast or low and fast , as well

01:01.219 --> 01:03.386
as the same ability as a helicopter to

01:03.386 --> 01:05.274
land in a confined space . What's

01:05.274 --> 01:05.020
exciting ? You're doing something

01:05.020 --> 01:07.076
different all the time and there's a

01:07.076 --> 01:09.131
lot of different skill sets that the

01:09.131 --> 01:11.464
Osprey has that is unique to the Osprey .

01:23.530 --> 01:25.252
We get to do a bunch of unique

01:25.252 --> 01:27.252
different trainings anytime you try

01:27.252 --> 01:29.252
something for the first time , it's

01:29.252 --> 01:28.590
pretty exhilarating
