Craig:
The CV-22 Osprey will replace the 46. It is just a pig and expensive one at that. The Marines would have been better off selecting a high speed tandem design that Boeing had experimented with in the 1980′s. It could lift 25000lbs 50 miles and cruise at 180 kts for half the price. But once the Marines locked in the Osprey they could not be moved.
