The Z-8A is used by PLA Army Aviation. The Z-8 and Aerospatiale/Eurocopter produced SA 321 Super Frelons are in service with the PLAN.

I actually got a chance to go under one last weekend and help hookup something under it while in flight and it isn't a bad bird at all. But I admit that I didn't want to fly on it even though they asked if anyone would.

But it sure is fast as hell when the blades go horizontally, even when it had a waterbowl hooked up underneath it.

A lot of aircraft have bad wraps at first, but if all the little kinks are worked out, it would definately save a lot of Marine's lives and also help get to place faster.

hey i love the bird man its great and its cool looking if it cant land good then we dont have to land this would be a great bird for the paratrooper kit every one whines about
also you got the thing in here already just need to assign the pilot kit and wala

could we maybe have 1 mission with the osprey? or maybe just a bonus downloadable map for the community with it.

imagine those on jabal, 2 or 3 v-22s setting down on a beach, doors go down, 3 squads rush out and secure a perimeter around the flag.

and on the subject of hybrid aircraft, if anyone has wandered about the BH in my sig...

The X-49A “Speedhawk” is an experimental helicopter currently under development. It is the subject of a $US 26.1-million U.S. Navy-sponsored project that consists of a Sikorsky YSH-60F helicopter modified by Piasecki as a testbed to test the “Vectored Thrust Ducted Propeller” (VTDP) system. One YSH-60F will be converted to test the feasibility of VTDP under an advanced technology demonstration program. The YSH-60F is powered by two General Electric T700-GE-401C engines.

The demonstration contract was awarded in October 2000 by the Naval Air Systems Command to Piasecki Aircraft. Piasecki will install a lifting wing with flaperons and a vectored-thrust ducted propeller (VTDP), or “ring tail,” to a U.S. Navy Sikorsky YSH-60F.

The compound helicopter technology that will be added to the YSH-60F was first demonstrated in trials of the Piasecki 16H-1 and 16H-1A in the early 1960’s, when the helicopters were flown at speeds up to 225 mph (360 km/h).

The X-49A YSH-60F flight demonstrator will be updated with a lifting wing taken from an Aerostar FJ-100 business jet. A ring tail will also be added and the helicopter drive train will be modified to accommodate VTDP. Piasecki will conduct integrated tests of the modified drive train at the Navy’s helicopter transmission test facility.

The cockpit controls will be modified with the addition of a manual prop pitch override on the collective for the ring tail. This will be the only visible change to the aircraft’s existing mechanical controls in the cockpit. The other controls needed to operate the compound helicopter’s systems will be integrated into the aircraft’s existing mechanical controls to reduce pilot workload. Weight added to the X-49A YSH-60F will be about 1,600 lb (725 kg). It will have an unrefuelled combat radius of 1,411km following a rolling take-off, and 963km after a vertical take-off, representing a three-fold increase over the standard H-60.

As of 2004 the X-49A YSH-60F/VTDP demonstration program was being transitioned from the U.S. Navy to the U.S. Army.

Wow, that speedhawk is awesome. But does it have enough advantages to see service yet?

Except the speed no, and in fact, i think it will be more hard to land whit that type of wing on each side... will need alot more space on Carrier too... More piece and more complicated system mean more maintenance ( +$$ ) The tail rotor is more biggest so it make a more easy target for RPG" the wing surely have Fuel in it... imagine a RPG7 hitting a wing the chopper is condamned as well as it hit the tail rotor.

british :

gazelle or lynx

chinook/seaking?

chinese: already in game, and do the chinese use the super puma?

MEC: no such thing, but could use gazelle, and the mi-17 (bigger version)

the speedhawk is ugly, really ugly.

the osprey will never make it into the mod so why make more topics about it? (seriously, do a search)

Ospreys have been deployed to Iraq already. I have not heard whether they have been in any missions yet. It's an unproven aircraft certainly, but has tons of potential.

TIME is just hatin'.

'[R-CON wrote:M.J.Patterson;512428']Heres a thread that lists some more reasons why it won't be in PR...

http://www.time.com/time/magazine/artic ... 82,00.html

I have to agree with Clypp, Time doesn't like anything about the military, any chance to do some damage to their reputation will be taken. I do have to point out a line from the article which puts everything you've heard about the MV-22 into perspective:

Like the AV-8, the V-22 is a radical aircraft crammed with compromises that may change combat forever. And like the AV-8, it may also kill a lot of Marines while doing little of note on the battlefield. Since 1971, more than a third of Harriers have crashed, killing 45 Marines in 143 accidents.

One Third have crashed! Can you imagine if they tried to make the Harrier today? What sort of coverage do you think Time would give it? How about the F-14 which had its first crash on its 2nd flight?

The MV-22B will be a great machine which will be built from the mistakes and learning curve of the V-22A. I think its a shame we don't have it in PRM.
