The Pentagon is working on a pair of software changes to its fleet of Bell-Boeing V-22 Osprey tiltrotors that will have the aircraft better display existing information to pilots. Colonel Brian Taylor, V-22 joint programme office (PMA-275) programme manager, said that one of these efforts is the cockpit engine health indicator (CEHI). Col Taylor said that V-22 engine performance declines over time due to ingesting sand and debris from degraded environments. Col Taylor said that using the CEHI to give pilots an indication if they are entering a low-engine-power situation would help their decision making. It would allow V-22 pilots to fly around and clear out their engines before flying into trouble.
