V-22: The Tiltrotor Difference
For more than 30 years, the V-22 Osprey has fundamentally changed how the U.S. Marine Corps, Air Force and now Navy operate in combat and humanitarian operations. With a fleet of over 400+ aircraft accumulating more than 600,000 flight hours, the Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey continues to prove it’s one of the most versatile and reliable aircraft for our customers and national security around the globe.
Unmatched advantage
Perform the previously impossible. Fixed-wing speed range, endurance and altitude combined with vertical lift. Over 600,000 flight hours. A revolutionary advantage across the full range of military operations in the most challenging of environments.

Range is the maximum VFR range of the aircraft traveling at Long Range Cruise speed with all passenger seats occupied.
Hover Performance
The Bell Boeing V-22 has a maximum vertical takeoff weight of 52,600lbs and can hover at altitudes over 10,000ft.
Missions
Air Assault
Combat Proven
Survivable performance across the full range of military operations worldwide. Increase your commanders' reach by extending operations farther and faster than ever before.
Special Ops
Own the Night
Terrain-following radar and enhanced survivability features allow the CV-22 to support the infiltration and exfiltration of special operations forces anywhere, anytime, day or night.
Carrier Onboard Delivery
Built to Deliver
Point to point flexibility. The CMV-22’s combination of range, speed, payload and vertical lift means critical supplies get where they are needed, when they are needed. Floor rollers and cargo winch allow rapid loading and unloading of cargo.
VIP Transport
Dignitary Transport
Land anywhere with the maneuverability of a vertical aircraft. Fly faster with the transit speed and range of a fixed-wing aircraft. Travel with presidential confidence in an interior fuselage designed for dignitaries.
Aerial Refueling
Multi-mission Global Reach
The V-22 can refuel off most common tanker aircraft using standard high-speed drogues. Capability-proven during countless trans-Atlantic crossings by U.S. Marine and Air Force crews.
Evacuation and Recovery
Bringing Everyone Home
Faster response with the V-22’s speed and greater coverage area with its range means more casualties receiving medical care during the “Golden Hour.” Use hoist and hover capability to recover personnel over water or rough terrain.
