054 - V-22 Osprey
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- When it comes to military aircraft, most enthusiasts are familiar with the subcategories airplanes and helicopters, and the differing ways they generate lift. The former propels one or more stationary wings through the airstream and thus requires a relatively high minimum flying speed. The latter rotates multiple overhead wings, which facilitates flight in a stationary hover but typically at the expense of a relatively slow top speed.
A less-well known third category combines the best features of airplanes and helicopters into one highly effective platform. Powered Lift air vehicles feature short or vertical takeoffs and landings as well as high top speeds-offering a tremendous advantage in military operations. The powered lift category features only three aircraft: the AV-8B Harrier, the ‘B’ variant of the F-35 Lightning II, and the subject of this week’s show: the V-22 Osprey.
On this episode, US Marine Corps Reserve Major Josh “Sweet Pea” Smith joins us to discuss the Osprey in depth: from its tumultuous development, to the variants flown by three of the four US military branches, to its weapons systems, and more. Sweet Pea further describes what it’s like to pilot an Osprey-whether loaded with Marines or in the service of our country’s top governmental leadership.
During the listener question segment, Jell-O and Sunshine discuss supersonic flight restrictions, carrier obsolescence, ordnance selection for uncertain mission tasking, and whether Cold War and older aircraft will be featured on coming episodes.

Just stumbled across this podcast and absolutely love it! I am a CV-22 Crew Chief and had a small correction, the blade fold wing stow is both electronically and hydraulically actuated as the pylon conversion actuators and the capstan drive assembly are hydraulic through hydraulic system 3 but the blade fold motors are electronic.
(INSERT EXPLETIVE) Paramount, who are they to tell anyone not to give their opinion on a released movie trailer? Any normal person understands artistic license and that movies are not real.
Anyway great show and keep up the good work! Thanks
Thanks, Lord. Yeah, I was a bit perplexed by this too--if we didn't have connections to the movie through our co-host and past episode guests, I'd tell them to can it.
My dad was Airforce flying in SAC, I was Army, my son was Marine. My dad taught all of his sons to fly. Two of us my dad taught to be instrument rated.
As always a great podcast, I love that MV-22 osprey. I did first see it in Transformers and then I used to play a sandbox military game called Arma 2 had it in there too and It was fun to swing the rotors/Nacelles up and then down and you did have to take off with them ar around 30-60% so not as accurate as how DCS would do it but close enough and it was fun. Very cool guy you had on. Thanks for the interview guys as always.
Sure thing, Scott. Thanks for the feedback.
What a great episode. So educational, but also put a huge smile on my face. Sweet pea I love it.❤❤😂😂😂😂
Another fantastic one Jell-O, sunshine and team . The v22 ospery is breath taking to see and the sound when they fly low over you is awesome. I live in northyorkshier in the UK and there guys use Cattrick garrison most of the time. fantastic to watch . I did hear that the traditional helcopters as we know them are going to be replaced by tiltrotor platforms .
Thanks, Paul! V-22s (among other military aircraft) routinely fly up and down the San Diego Bay in eyeshot of where I live and it's always a thrill to see one go by.
Interesting, as a Marine Officer Candidate in Quantico, VA in July 1992, I watched one crash into the Chesapeake about 150m in front of me while I was waiting for our platoon to form up after chow. It was so close that I was splashed by water from the crash. Later, I found out 19 people were killed in the mishap. I swore at the time that as a Marine, I would never ride a V-22 Osprey. The image will forever be etched in my mind, God Bless their souls.
That must have been painful, both then and since.
Great episode gents! Our MWSS was on deck for the first combat deployment of the Ospreys to Iraq back in 07. It was pretty awesome to see those men and women cruising around the flight line. They were able to give morale flights between ops to some of the units of the base. Man the transition from hover to full forward flight was awesome! With the Osprey able to keep a level deck thoughout the transition it felt like we were going to slide out the back! Lol
That would be hairy!
Listening to this while practicing my vertical landings in a flightsim, great episode!
Nice!
Jello-O/Sunshine Hi guys!, this needed for tech specs like translational lift, autorotation, hover in ground effect etc etc. Awesome episode. Jell-O, so sorry for your loss, glad you and your family got some closure and you celebrated his life with family in the end. Stay blessed.
Thank you.
So, can this thing fly on one engine? I listened to this podcast a while back, but can't remember... I guess he said, if in helicopter mode, it would immediately crash, and in airplane mode you would need a runway. Can it fly/glide if it lost ALL engine power? Like a helicopter can auto-rotate, and a plane can glide. This after yet another crash that took four lives. March 19, 2022
As I recall, sweet pea said it can fly on one engine through a connecting system to the faulty engine.
Caldwell Idaho! Right beside the Airport.
Would you please get a carrier skipper on to discuss carrier strategy/tactics
The fighter pilot podcast - try to say that a couple of times fast 😁. For once UA-cam recommends something I’m interested in. Great show!
Thanks, welcome!
Why do I have to spend 20 minutes scrolling through this podcast to actually hear it start? thanks for all the admin stuff in the front that’s really great that’s why we click on it
Ever eaten at a buffet? Different kinds of food are offered. Some people eat things that other people don’t but everyone gets to choose. That’s the beauty of it.
I agree with the caller, the carrier as we know it, is almost obsolete. With the advent of so many missiles and the up and coming era of drones, aircraft carriers have about a decade left. All the carriers that are in the pipeline will not be built. And if you are wondering about my credentials, I have my doctorate from the university of UA-cam.
That clearly makes you the expert. 😇
@@FighterPilotPodcast imagine thinking carriers only had a decade left
What is the advantage of props over jet engines?
Not making glass out of sand when you vertically land lul
ohhh boy i love you guys
🙏
I know someone who flew the Strike Eagle out of LN. Heard you are looking for an Eagle driver to interview. If you can send me your info I can get you in contact with him.
There's a cool osprey-like vehicle in the deus ex games
Loved this! Nice to know a fellow Utahn, from the SLC area no less, doing great in the Service!!!!
I remember the Osprey being in the works since the 80s, wondered if it would ever get to the fleet, but I always knew that once they get experience with that technology it was going to be a huge part of the future. Very cool. So, gonna have a Harrier pilot on soon maybe?
Yep, got a guest lined up for the end of the month! At first I had thought about playing the "attack" bumper song for the Harrier but now I realize I need to play this "powered lift" song instead. 😎
@@FighterPilotPodcastAwesome! And I bet I know which movie will come up as the major pop culture reference...
@@RCAvhstape Ya think?!
@@FighterPilotPodcast a "power ballad" would have been more appropriate for this category 😂😂😂😂. Dumb joke but i could not resist.
Sweet that you are doing harrier show in the future.
Any chance you will ever get to cover MiG or SU aircraft. I think the former 4477 TES had mig 17 and 21, not sure if there are more recent birds in the inventory. It may be classified info or difficult to find a NATO pilot, but would be interesting. I think US recently purchased some old Mirage F1 for combat training www.drakenintl.com/ based in Lakeland, Florida.
@@lordtemplar9274 Yes, we are trying to get any and all fighters we can. There are so many it's difficult to narrow down priorities.
A full time reservist makes same salary as active duty, I presume ?
The ol tilt-a-whirl witchcraft mobile. Another good episode guys, thanks.
🙏
My country Indonesia has just ordered the V22!
I feel I'm pretty in the loop in terms of terminology, so I don't really use the glossary, but I certainly can understand a point of view that would value it much more highly. If you're thinking of discontinuing work or even getting rid of it, I wouldn't
We'll keep it going, thanks. It's relatively low effort and people seem to like it.
Another great episode,congrats to sweet pea for his promotion and This has made me really appreciate the V-22 more(I saw one at the Air show in Miami last month..that thing is amazing!)
And I'm glad you didn't feature my phone call..I would've died of embrassment otherwise!
But anyway,thanks so much for this ep and Big-shout-out/thanks to Major Smith for his service!
Well, we have two more phone calls waiting in the winds. The names did not match your UA-cam handle but if one of them is you then they'll be coming up on a future episode!
While I know most of the glossary, I like that you guys put it together and hope you keep it going. Maybe farm it out to a good Samaritan?
Eh, it's not that much effort in the grand scheme of things--we'll keep it going.
Hello jello just wondering if you or sunshine go to the upcoming Tailhook Convention 1st week of September. My son who is currently trained probably going to be winged there. I hope I can meet you there if winging will be held there. I listened almost all your podcast and enjoys it life of navy fighter pilots.
Hi xris, yes, I will be at Tailhook this year. Congrats to your son and I hope we cross paths!
The Fighter Pilot Podcast okay looking forward to it
Just stumbled on your podcast and I absolutely love it. Excellent content and great dialogue.
Thanks, Neelay. Welcome!
Your podcast needs more recognition. Definitely in my top 5 along side Jocko podcast!
Thanks, Bryan G! We don't spend a lot of resources promoting ourselves.
they could have something better Earlier with the Grumman 698
That thing was basically a tilt-rotor S-3, I doubt it would have carried as many battle-ready Marines.
Quick comment on supersonic areas. I live near Robins AFB in central Georgia where they overhaul F-15s. On the test flights after we regularly get "thumped" here. Some are mild and some rattle the dishes. No one even bats an eye.
I was just in your neck of the woods yesterday, Terry. Visited the museum there and recorded an interview for the B-17. Good stuff!
@@FighterPilotPodcast Wow! Sorry it's so chilly here. lol Great little museum huh? Looking forward to the B-17 interview.
@@terryboyer1342 "Chilly" is not a word I would have used to describe it, but it did remind me of my time in Meridian, MS. 😓
Are you still going to be putting up the Air Force training podcast you said you would put up back in episode 025?
Still working on it. The candidate we had lined up went and deployed on us, but we waited so long he's actually back now!
Sweet! Thanks for the speedy response. I always make time in my day to get motivated for the future with these podcasts.
It´s call "Tilt Rotor". XD , ..
...yeah, and...?
@@FighterPilotPodcast Just a comment, but i will never post a comment again, and don´t worry, and enjoy your life, byes. , ..
Another great episode!
what a great episode
So if the Navy, Marines, and Chair Force all have operational V-22s why is Bell developing the V-280?
For the Army.
Why not use an existing platform that has already been proven?
@@sh0-nuff547 Seems logical doesn't it? I suppose the Army must have some requirement that the Osprey does not meet.
@** after following the program for a while, I believe that the brass were concerned about the number of soldiers risked. Also, the V-280 and Defiant X are being developed to replace the Blackhawk, so I believe that the Army wants to keep the transport organization around 12 troops. The Chinook can transport larger vehicles and artillery, so I believe that the lifting capacity dissuaded the acquisition of Ospreys for the Army.
Is there any connections you have to be able to reach out to Soviet/Russian pilots? Aircraft like the MiG 25 & 31 and Sukoi platforms really intrigue me. Keep up the great work and may god rest Aiello Senior's soul, he sounded like a person who had a weath of experiences.
Thanks very much.
We are investigating options for MiG and Sukhoi pilots. Stay tuned!
@@FighterPilotPodcast Sweet really looking forward to that, I'll keep my eye out.
I know its not your intent with the channel but I really enjoyed the ufo upload with Commander Fravor and I think with Joe Rogan having Bob Lazar on discussing area 51 and secret projects the subject matter has never had more of people's attention and I'm wondering if you know of others with strange unexplainable experiences in their career? But I understand why its not realistic and steers away from the these types of episodes. Thanks.
@@Stelf101 I think we're good with UFOs for now and the so-called Area 51 idea is challenging because former military folks are obliged to protect classified info even if there is mention of it on social media or elsewhere.
@@FighterPilotPodcast That was the last one I promise XD
@@Stelf101 😎
The glossary is really useful, please keep it
Mani Zaeim we will! 😎
Check out this video where an f16 dodges multiple SAM launches
The 'Stroke 3' video?
The Fighter Pilot Podcast that’s the one. Are u able to get the pilot on the podcast ?
@@christianarboleda7872 I once tried, unsuccessfully.
@@FighterPilotPodcast it would've been a really interesting episode
@@christianarboleda7872 Thought about doing a 'Behind the Scenes' video on it but there's only so much to explain. Bottom line: the poor guy gets lit up by SAMs a bunch of times.
