The Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey is unique, being a tiltrotor military transport and cargo aircraft that offers both vertical and short take-off and landing capabilities.
The Osprey is operated by the United States and Japan, who appreciate the fact that it blends the functionality of a regular helicopter with the long-range and high-speed capability of a fixed-wing aircraft.
The V-22 first flew in 1989 and entered service in 2007, and is known to have been involved in 63 "occurrences" – with 62 people being killed.
