The Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey is an American multi-mission, military, tilt rotor aircraft with both a vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL), and short takeoff and landing (STOL) capability.
It is designed to combine the functionality of a conventional helicopter with the long-range, high-speed cruise performance of a turboprop aircraft.
The V-22 originated from the United States Department of Defence Joint-service Vertical take-off/landing Experimental (JVX) aircraft program started in 1981.
The team of Bell Helicopter and Boeing Helicopters was awarded a development contract in 1983 for the tilt rotor aircraft.
The Bell Boeing team jointly produce the aircraft.
The V-22 first flew in 1989, and began flight testing and design alterations; the complexity and difficulties of being the first tilt rotor intended for military service in the world led to many years of development.
