Also do you know the realeastic all up weights and the proper fuel loadings?

Also all possible armaments? Anyone?

just found out the F-22 will pull at leaste 7 Gs at 40,000ft! Havent checked mine for that yet. Weights? dunno , I've seen the gross anywhere from 60 to 80,000lbs! The weights of raptor have been kept very quiet, and as always in a program like this the weights change from time to time anyway.

The question was abpout the Osprey, not the Raptor

Doh! Kap you need to get some reading glasses!!

Looking for info on the V-22 Osprey Tilt Rotor!

I have read some differing info:

1. 2 or more .50 cabin guns (that's probably outdated), not at the doors, but at the ramp.

2. 30mm cannon (I don't believe that)

3. 20mm (multibarrel) slewable cannon (that's what I believe is the most likely) I didnt have time to do any research, I can try to find out what the real armament will be.

I know next to nothing about the V-22 details.
However, I remember a FA lib where its engines/rotors were made
to actually TILT anywhere from 0 to 90 degrees.
Don't remember what lib it was, but I am pretty sure I have that lib on my computer.

Just trying to help.

DOH! but hey 7Gs at 40K is still way cool LOL I'd been reading a bit about Raptor that day so I guess I saw what I wanted to see lol I thought I sent you my V-22? no?

What I have found out is that the plans for the nose gun were dropped in 1994 but considered again in 1998.

The MV-22Bs built after 2004 will have a turretted three-barrelled 12.7mm gun based on the GAU-19/A.

ROF: 1,200 rpm, 750 round magazine under the floor, can be replenished in flight.

The same weapon will be retrofitted to older MV-22s.

USAF is considering a self-defense gun for the CV-22.

I wonder if they really think a .50 cal is enough or if anything bigger would have been too expensive.

THat gatling version of the 50 cal is a very effective weapon, though I do not understand the low volume of fire? I thought it was 1200 rounds per minute per barrel?

Kap I didnt see the V-22 in the helo lib you sent me. So I guess you didnt?

So the real designation for the Marines V-22 will be the MV-22? I know next to nothing about this aircraft!

CAG I'll test my Raptor and send it to you hee hee I mean the Osprey! or DOOO I .....

HAHAHA!

found some more info and did a little re-working today. Tests out fine, I'll send it and the data page I found with fuel weights and such, for what its worth.
