The Bell Boeing MV-22 Osprey is the cornerstone of U.S. Marine Corps assault support. It is a tiltrotor aircraft, engineered to combine the vertical takeoff, hovering, and landing capabilities of a helicopter with the high speed, long range, and fuel efficiency of a fixed-wing turboprop airplane.
Beyond combat transport, its high speed makes it highly effective for Tactical Recovery of Aircraft and Personnel (TRAP) and humanitarian assistance operations where getting medical aid or evacuating casualties quickly is a matter of life and death.
