I remember the initial dream of developing the Osprey, and that was in the late 1970s. The idea was to replace helicopters, which can't fly fast enough or far enough. After 30 plus years, the Osprey is still plagued by problems. I suppose it will follow the pattern of so many other military systems, getting the bugs worked out Justin time to be obsolete.
