Without going into classified details, I can say that the Bell-Boeing team has multiple initiatives in place to improve readiness and performance.

I'm sure Italeri will do it at some point if it gets into proper production. They have to!

Just recalled, when reading some revitalised anti F-35 trash, that the MV-22 used to be in the same boat and that even now after being in service for years, exceeding user expectations and transforming what the USMC can do and how they do it, there are still people calling it a death trap and demanding the projects cancellation.

It strikes me that an unfortunate number of uninformed people are not only unaware that they are uninformed and way off mark but that they are actually exhibiting signs of being delusional.  Perhaps this explains what is wrong with the world today, too many delusional people?

Found this while searching on "V-22 Gunship".




Looks like a Mu-2 is hiding in there somewhere.  Evan?

Yes, definitely, the long-bodied MU-2 at that (Hasegawa MU-2J kit).  That outrigger gear is unfeasible, though, the temperature environment in that area is extreme.

Some good ideas there. I like the nose mounted gun and I think those were Hellfire missiles.

Impressive QTR (Quad Tilt-Rotor) variant!!  I hope that weapons wing is far enough aft of the forward nacelles that exhaust gas impingement isn't a problem; hate to see that damage the wing or cook-off weaponry.

There are a few pages to wade through so apologies if this has been posted, found - of all places - on PPruNe: a 1968 Westland concept for a passenger tiltrotor. I rather like it.

My only gripe is that the rear engines are directly in line with the forward ones and uniquely placed to ingest the exhausts of the forward engines with all the problems that entails.
