U.S. Marine Corps MV-22 Osprey Demo Team

Making their Oregon International Air Show debut, it’s the USMC MV-22 Osprey Demo Team! This team flies one of the most unique aircraft on the air show circuit, as it shares similarities to both traditional prop-driven aircraft and helicopters.

About the MV-22 Osprey

The Osprey entered service with the USMC in 2007, as a replacement for the CH-46 Sea Knight.

MV-22 Osprey
It is a tiltrotor aircraft, which means it can rotate the propellers vertically or horizontally. When rotated vertically the Osprey can take off, land and fly like a helicopter. When rotated horizontally, it can fly like a traditional propeller driven aircraft. The unique ability to adjust the propellers allow the USMC to operate this aircraft in a variety of environments and missions.
