Pentagon Grounds V-22 Osprey Fleet After Metal Failures Cause Engine Failure
Dec 9, 2024, 09:01 PM
The Pentagon has once again temporarily halted operations of its V-22 Osprey fleet following a near-crash incident in New Mexico in November, caused by weakened metals in a part inside one of the aircraft, leading to an engine failure. The incident prompted an operational pause by the U.S. Air Force, Navy, and Marines, as directed by NAVAIR. This latest setback for the Osprey aircraft, which has faced ongoing safety concerns, comes after an initial investigation pointed to metal failures as a contributing factor. The grounding affects the entire fleet, with the military branches adhering to the operational pause.
