'Every flight is a learning event’: why the V-22 Osprey aircraft won’t be grounded despite dozens of crashes and 54 fatalities

At the weekend a V-22 Osprey aircraft crashed on Melville Island north of Darwin.

Key Points: 
  • At the weekend a V-22 Osprey aircraft crashed on Melville Island north of Darwin.
  • The Osprey is a relatively new type of aircraft, with a patchy track record for safety.

What is the V-22 Osprey?

    • The Osprey has long been controversial, initially for its high cost and long development time, and in recent years for safety concerns.
    • The Osprey is at the leading edge of aviation technology, with nothing else in operational service like it.

Why is the Osprey so useful?

    • The Marine Corps is famous for landing soldiers across beaches during combat but in the modern era this is difficult.
    • The Osprey solves this by allowing amphibious ships to remain hundreds of kilometres at sea and launch assaults onto the beach “from over the horizon”.
    • The Marines first brought the Osprey into service in 2007, and it has been central to the adoption of a whole new way of war.

Why is the Osprey’s safety record so patchy?

    • The downside of being leading-edge technology is having little historical experience of similar aircraft to fall back on.
    • Every Osprey flight is a learning event for the pilots, the maintenance personnel and the aircraft’s manufacturer.
    • The central concern today is flying safety and here the Osprey has a mixed record.

Will the Osprey get safer?

    • As the Osprey has flown more, more knowledge has been gained and the accident rate has declined.
    • This all compares very unfavourably with American civil aviation, which has a much better safety record.
    • Historically, the safety record of revolutionary aircraft like the Osprey improves as more operating experience is gained and unknown technical problems are found and addressed.

Will we see more tiltrotors like the Osprey in future?

    • The US Army has chosen a new generation tiltrotor, the V-280 Valor, to replace its ageing Blackhawk helicopters.
    • Tiltrotors like the Osprey and its successors are likely to fly in Australian skies well into the future.
