I think 
the tilt-rotor concept has a lot of potential but this is the worst defense procurement program 
ever. I remember in the '90s it was already crashing and way over time and budget. It should 
have been ready 
25 fricking 
years ago and it's still not today. There 
is something 
deeply wrong 
with our society 
when nobody has been executed or even sent to prison 
over all the money 
and lives 
lost.

The Bell V-280 Valor, which is replacing the black hawk, seems to have learned a lot of hard lessons from the Osprey and is a much better aircraft. One example is only the blades tilt not the whole engine so it doesn't fry the landing deck.
