Pentagon gives Osprey production go-ahead
The U.S. Department of Defense Acquisition Board has given the go-ahead to begin full-rate production of the V-22 Osprey.
Bell will deliver 360 aircraft to the Marines, 50 to the U.S. Air Force and 48 to the Navy.
Current low-rate production of 11 aircraft per year will increase up to 48 aircraft.
The V-22 recently passed its operational testing with flying colors.
