WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon is temporarily pausing flights again of
its fleet of V-22 Ospreys after weakened metal components possibly
played a role in another near crash, the latest setback for an embattled
aircraft whose safety problems have grown.
 
The pause was recommended last week “out of an abundance of caution” by
Vice Adm. Carl Chebi, the head of Naval Air Systems Command, which runs
the Osprey program for the military, said command spokeswoman Marcia Hart.
 
The Marine Corps, Navy and Air Force are adhering to the recommended
pause, each said in a statement to The Associated Press. The Marines
said its pause began on Friday and would run at least through Monday.
The other services are expected to maintain their pauses longer as they
look at the cause of the metal failures.
 
An in-depth investigation into the Osprey by The AP published last month
found that safety issues have increased in the past five years, parts
are wearing out faster than expected and that the design of the aircraft
itself is directly contributing to many of the accidents. The Osprey can
fly both like a helicopter and an airplane.

Another multi-billion dollar boondoggle
 
 

Even the Nazis couldn’t get this stupid idea to work properly. And they
were legends with aviation.
