The U.S. Navy has awarded Bell-Boeing a $200 million contract for three MV-22 Osprey aircraft. The V-22 Osprey is a tilt-rotor aircraft being developed by a strategic alliance between Bell Helicopter Inc. and The Boeing Company. Designed to operate as a helicopter when taking off and landing vertically, the Osprey’s two engine propellers rotate 90 degrees forward once airborne, converting the Osprey into a turboprop aircraft. The Osprey has the capacity to transport twenty-four combat-equipped troops or other loads and is capable of all-weather, night, and low-level flight as well as inflight refueling. The first Osprey are expected to deploy for combat next year. Contract work is expected to be completed in December 2009.
