UK Expresses Interest In V-22 Osprey
A number of countries have shown interest in the V-22 Osprey, including the UK, France, Italy and Spain.
Navy Recognition first reported this story here. The organisation learned of this information during the Surface Navy Association’s National Symposium in Washington DC.
John R. Parker, Senior Manager, Tiltrotor Global Sales & Marketing at Boeing said:
“In the case of the UK and France, the interest is coming from the Navy.”
The V-22 Osprey is a multi-mission, tiltrotor aircraft with both a vertical takeoff and landing and short takeoff and landing capability, designed to combine the functionality of a conventional helicopter with the long-range, high-speed cruise performance of a turboprop aircraft.
