| The V-22 Osprey has a new configuration, the Carrier Onboard Delivery (COD) role, which gives the tiltrotor aircraft the ability to deploy from land, as well as from ships at sea. This unique Osprey configuration will be capable of transporting up to 6,000 pounds of cargo or personnel over 1,150 nautical miles due to the addition of two new and improved 60-gallon fuel tanks, extending the range of the aircraft over previous configurations. |
| America’s armed forces depend on the V-22 to conduct missions in the toughest environments – whether it is search and rescue, hurricane relief, or the delivery of critical supplies by air. The Osprey has also played a crucial role in military operations in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Kuwait – logging over half a million flight hours over the course of its career. |
