@pbsnews: The Osprey takes off like a helicopter and flies like a plane at twice the speed of other helicopters. The Marines call the aircraft essential to its mission; on average, it deployed 20 to ships every day last year. Yet, the aircraft was grounded for three months across the military after a crash in Japan last November killed all eight airmen on board. That crash was the fourth by an Osprey in the last two years. While the military says it has mitigated the problem that caused these accidents, the families of those killed are not convinced. #pbsnewshour #pbsnews #newshour #osprey #helicopter #usmc #marines #airforce #airmen #marinecorps #military #aircraft #helicoptercrash #usmilitary #marine #usairforce
USAF "were grounding the Osprey because of the violent shaking during takeoff"
USMC "we'll just teach our pilots to deal with the shaking"

FYI the Osprey has a better 30 year safety record per flight hour than any other U.S. military rotorcraft

Engineers should develop a rotor kill switch so that it stops the rotors from continuing to spin during a crash

wasn't the last osprey pilot that died a big reddit guy that tried convincing people it wasn't the ospreys fault for all the deaths it was the bad pilots?

it seems like we've been discussing this since the 90s. the Osprey has been controversial since it's inaugurated.
