Because the Osprey is unsafe it spends half of its time grounded - the average mission capable rate is only 56% compared to 85% for the Black Hawk. The Osprey also costs nine times more per aircraft to operate and maintain than the Black Hawk. — PolitiTweet.org

Whistleblowers have been doing their best. This detailed account from a Marine shows how "the aircraft has many more ways of getting into trouble than...a conventional helicopter. Unfortunately all of these issues are the result of basic design features" https://t.co/Knajk6RWHn — PolitiTweet.org

For almost 20 years, DoD has known tiltrotor aircraft are deeply flawed. Knowing this, why on earth would the Army choose to rely on the tiltrotor for the most important helicopter contract of all time? Especially when it's the way more expensive option! https://t.co/TIqkI60dCR — PolitiTweet.org
