Osprey Is Unsafe and Unairworthy
The families of four Marines who died in a 2022 MV-22 Osprey crash say Boeing, Bell Textron and Rolls Royce lied about the plane's safety.
“By virtue of [Boeing, Bell and Rolls Royce’s] position of superior knowledge about the V-22 Osprey aircraft, engines, FADECs, transmission, clutch, ICDS, and other systems and their component parts, the government justifiably relied upon their false statements, information, and/or misrepresentations,” the 45-page lawsuit alleges. Tim Loranger, the lead attorney for the families, told Task & Purpose that the lawsuit was filed as much to force the military and the three contractors to disclose information on the Osprey as for monetary damages. The final Swift 11 report also revealed that Osprey engineers with the military, Boeing and Bell Textron have sought a fix for HDC failures since at least 2017, but have yet to solve the issue with new parts, instead changing maintenance procedures and repair schedules for the plane.
