Sounds like someone in uniform is trying a whitewash job, gunnut.
James Darcy states "Never had a request to further explore a single engined take off issue" and some readers may think that reasonable. I don't. What happens when an Osprey loses or has to shut down one engine in flight? It has never been tried, and that is the big worry I have. How is it going to land? It has to be in the rotors up mode as it cannot land like a conventional aircraft. Never been done on one engine. Why not? One day some poor user is going to lose an engine - and then he is supposed to become an instant test pilot under less than ideal conditions? No machine should be released to service until it has been thoroughly tested. Back to square one, the V-22 Osprey has not been matched to the milestone requirements, and all we hear is confusion and procrastination. The answer is simple - test the bloody thing fully, get the best brains behind it and sort the problems out. If they cannot be solved , ditch the program without further delay.
