Pentagon Grounds V-22 Osprey Fleet After Engine Failure in November
Dec 9, 2024, 04:45 PM
The Pentagon has once again temporarily grounded its fleet of V-22 Osprey aircraft following a recent near-crash incident. The decision comes after an initial investigation revealed that weakened metals inside one of the aircraft broke apart in flight in November, causing an engine failure and a near-crash in New Mexico. This is not the first time the Osprey, known for its troubled history, has faced operational restrictions due to safety concerns.
