MV-22B Marinir US jatuh di Hawaii, 1 tewas, 21 terluka
A US Marine Corps Bell Boeing MV-22B Osprey ‘tiltrotor’ suffered what officials termed a ‘hard landing’ on 17 May. One of those on board was killed on impact, while 21 further service personnel experienced a range of injuries up to ‘critical’ and have in some cases been hospitalised.
The Osprey landing incident occurred at Hawaii’s Bellows AFB at around 1140hrs, according to the USMC’s accident statement, which confirms also that an investigation into what happened has now been launched.
Formally based at California’s Camp Pendleton, members of the 15th Marine Expeditionary Force had been on detachment to Bellows for so-termed ‘routine sustainment’ training purposes.
Hawaiian Osprey Crash
Eyewitness Hawaiian Osprey crash accounts point to the fated tiltrotor being one of three airborne at the time. The three Ospreys each allegedly descended to ground level but just two airframes thereafter rose back up again.
"It's tragic and our condolences go out to the families and the loved ones of the victim”, said USMC representative Captain Alex Lim in comments quoted by Hawaii News Now. “But right now we need to investigate further and see what happened. I can tell you that [to date] MV-22s have been a very reliable aircraft.”
USMC Osprey Operations
The US Marine Corps has been operating Bell-Boeing MV-22B Osprey tiltrotors in a frontline capacity since 2007. That same year, the type was dispatched to Iraq, where its combination of speed and forward deployability came into its own. Two years later, the type arrived in Afghanistan and performed at a similarly impressive level.
Currently, the Osprey equips only the USMC and the USAF but other potential operators include South Korea and Israel. Japan’s Osprey procurement plans are more advanced, with part of the country’s defence budget earmarked for five airframes earlier in 2015.
The MV-22B is one of two main Osprey variants, alongside the CV-22B used by the USAF. Powered by two Rolls-Royce T406/AE 1107-C-Liberty turboshaft engines, each producing 6,150 horsepower, it has a maximum forward airspeed of 316 miles per hour. Maximum range is 1,011 miles and service ceiling is 25,000 feet. The Osprey is operated by four crew members (one pilot, one co-pilot and a pair of flight engineers) and can accommodate up to 32 troops, 20,000 pounds of cargo or a single M1161 Growler ITV-LSV (Internally Transportable-Light Strike Vehicle).
The Osprey remains the world’s only in-service ‘tiltrotor’, able to transition between vertical and forward flight courtesy its rotating outboard-wing engine nacelles.
