摘要

A year of closely monitored flight testing has led to a reversal of fortune for the V-22, with senior Pentagon officials giving their blessing to take the tiltrotor off life support and into a higher production rate. The Bell Helicopter Textron and Boeing-built V-22 has been under intense scrutiny since December 2000 when flight testing was halted because of two fatal crashes that year in which 23 Marines died. Flight testing under a completely revised program resumed only a year ago, with developers under pressure to show they could fix reliability problems and demonstrate the tiltrotor is safe to fly. Otherwise, senior Pentagon officials said, the program would be killed. In the intervening period, production of V-22s would be limited to 11 aircraft per year. Testing, including more than 460 flight hours, has won over at least those crit-ics that matter. Pentagon acquisition czar E.C. (Pete) Aldridge, a self-proclaimed V-22 skeptic, last week reviewed the program and lauded the technical progress demonstrated during the flight test phase and gave the nod to move the program forward more aggressively. The V-22 verdict was one of Aldridge's final actions in that post; he retired Friday.
