A House Oversight Committee panel is currently investigating the safety and oversight of the V-22 Osprey aircraft following a series of fatal crashes. The committee has expressed concerns over the lack of critical data and accident reports that were requested several months ago.
The V-22 Osprey, known for its unique ability to fly long distances fast like an airplane and land like a helicopter, has a history of safety, maintenance, and reliability issues spanning decades. Since 1992, there have been 12 Osprey accidents resulting in the tragic deaths of 62 service members and civilians.
