The Boeing V-22 Osprey is a unique military aircraft that combines the capabilities of a helicopter and a fixed-wing airplane. It features two large rotors that can tilt, allowing it to take off and land vertically like a helicopter while also flying at high speeds like an airplane. This versatility makes it suitable for various missions, including troop transport and supply delivery. Developed by Boeing and Bell Helicopter, the Osprey has been in service since the early 2000s. It is primarily used by the United States Marine Corps and the United States Air Force, providing enhanced operational flexibility in diverse environments.
