The US Navy prepares to lead CMV-22 B Ospray New Generation Transport Aircraft Used with the old C-2 Greyhound replacement aircraft carrier that has been used for over 30 years with a helicopter-like landing function.
- Aircraft designed for use on aircraft carriers
- Operated and Takeoff Aircraft Get Like a Helicopter
- Flexible aircraft can do a variety of missions.
Outstanding news
For more than 40 years, America’s carrier fleet has proven its power. And the ability to fight from sea to coast. The key is apart from fighter squadrons consisting of powerful fighters. And a squad of helicopters supporting rescue missions The patrol is already underwater. Another party has a role in support operations. It is a general transport aircraft or (Common Support Aircraft) of the US Navy.You have chosen to use the Grumman C-2A Greyhound (Grumman C-2A Greyhound) for a long time and it is time to put your hand forward to Bell Boeing CMV-22 B Osspray (CMV-22B) Latest-model aircraft Who will enter service in 2021
C-2A senior, full experience
The C-2 Greyhound is an evolution of the E-2 Hawkeye early warning aircraft with two propeller engines with wings on the fuselage. With a large long tail tray With 4 vertical trays, but the body will be enlarged more Carry It has the ability to take off and land on an aircraft carrier. There is an open rear door that can be installed in the cabin during transport missions. Or pull out the passenger seat to change the loading and unloading of luggage, such as carrying mail bags. Equipment parts Airplane Receiving-sending from shore to aircraft carrier Built in operation since 1965
Currently, the C-2A has been updated to be more modern. While waiting to switch to a new model Since the 1990s and removed the old C-2A from the masses, such as the turboprop. The four-blade propeller was changed to an 8-blade glass cockpit digital cockpit named C-2A (R): C-2A (R) This aircraft has a total of four pilots and crew members as pilots. Auxiliary pilots and officers carry 2 C-2A (R) captains with capacity for 26 passengers or 12 patient beds, including cargo. Or packages, 4,536 kg, can fly 1,300 nautical miles when transporting 10,000 pounds
It’s time for the freshman V-22 Osprey.
Osprey V-22 It is a hybrid aircraft design that takes advantage of the advantages of a helicopter. That it can go up and down vertically It takes a short runway It has speed and can fly as much as an airplane in a single airplane, using the long-range “Tilt-wing”. Osprey is a select version of the United States Marine Corps airlift aircraft. MV-22B (MV-22B) to transfer airborne energy from offshore landings to the target. It can lift a Humve like a big helicopter. Including power transmission infiltrated by high altitude skydiving, replacing the large 2-rotor helicopters, the CH-46 Zenite and the CH-53 DC Stallion.
The United States Air Force chose the model. CV-22B (CV-22B) In the US Special Operations Command (USSOCOM), the US Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) replaces the MAH-53 Epeflow transport helicopters with special modifications that differ from the normal version, including mounts tank. Under-wing fuel reserve Ground radar for low-altitude flights The camera captures images at night. Missile self-defense system. Heat deception kit which is essential for special forces operations.
CMV-22B open spec hero this time
Our hero today CMV-22B (CMV-22B) Navy blue version Its appearance is similar to that of the MV-22B, but the CMV-22B increases the flight range approximately 34% than the MV-22B. And an announcement sound system.Built by Bell Boeing, the machine has a two-bladed Rolls-Royce Liberty AE1107C engine that produces 6,200 horsepower, can deliver a speed of 280 knots, can reach 25,000 feet in height, can fly 1,150 miles nt. (With a payload of 6,000 Lb) it used a crew of 4 people, 2 pilots, a load of officers, 2 captains and 24 passengers.
The pilot of CMV-22B You will fly using accessories like a night vision camera. Combined with multi-function four-color display screens, the pilot’s seat At the front of the aircraft, various sensors are installed. Both cameras detect video Electro-optical camera Infrared vision for night Make it show a view of the screen both day and night
While the avionics system has autopilot. GPS navigation system Navigation systems with data obtained from the Inertial Measurement Unit (INS), the Radio Assisted Navigation System (TACAN), the Landing Assist system (ILS) and the fly-by-wire flight control system . It includes a high frequency communication system to fly long distances beyond the sky line. With this model, the US Navy plans to purchase 44 aircraft in 2021 and complete all ships by 2023.
Test boarding on the aircraft carrier began.
On November 20, 2020, CMV-22B Tested Landing Including Carrier Operations USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70) was the first in the mid-Pacific. The VRM-30 logistics fleet aircraft, nicknamed “Titan” for the landing style. It will be a vertical plane similar to a helicopter. Unlike C-2A planes that have to land on the runway and use a stop device as a hook.
CMV-22B, the perfect choice
With a body design that allows the wings to rotate parallel to the body. In addition to folding the engine in the top and rear of the trunk Saving space for parking on the roof OR in the shed too This is of great importance to the Navy. Because the more space you save on deck and in the parking lot, the more aircraft can be managed While the cargo is the right size The Pratt & Whitney F135 engine can easily be used as a replacement for the F-35S Lightning II for the Navy, which results in the delivery of power to the aircraft aboard the carrier. Able to carry spare parts from shore to ship anytime, anywhere.
This is all an interesting story about another plane. Which are different from general airplanes. In both aeronautical technology combined Design with functionality in mind You can use its enormous lifting power to transport goods or supplies between ships within the same fleet, as well as to support SEAL missions. In parachuting it penetrates the air AND helps in the transport of soldiers from the combat area. Search and rescue missions Help victims of natural disasters Including sending the patient to the medical line. And you should have a chance to see more operations in the future …
