Round 1 poll 27: the V-22 Osprey from the US military vs David from the submitter's life

Propaganda under the cut:

the V-22 Osprey

First off I need to explain that I am NOT a Military Guy. I am not a Military History guy either. I dont give a shit about WII. I dont give a shit about fighter jets. I do NOT care. Normally I devote all of my vehicle obsession energy to ships. But the Osprey. God, the osprey... [takes long drag on cigarette] She's so special to me. The Osprey is a tilt-rotor aircraft, meaning it can essentially convert between being a helicopter and being a plane. It's shit at both. Its favorite things to do are eat money, set things on fire and crash so bad it flips over before it hits the ground. It needs so much maintenance that only around 60% of them are remotely working at any one time. I want to chew it like a baby with a teething toy. They say it can do aircraft to aircraft refueling but sometimes the rotors slap the fuel hose and it crashes BOTH aircraft. It craves human blood and the warm embrace of smacking into the ground. It is so so so cringe and fail and in 2021 one melted the helipad at a children's hospital. It's an indulgent taxpayer funded disaster made of equal parts military industrial complex, hubris, and mechanical failure, and I'm going to put one in a towel-lined box and feed it JP-8 from an eyedropper like a newborn kitten.

David

okay, listen up, this thing right here?

this is a V-22 Osprey tiltrotor and they are

so cool.

it takes off like a helicopter, with the rotors vertical but in the air they rotate 90 degrees so that the osprey can go FAST but they can also do rolling takeoff and landings with the rotors at 45 degrees! the navy has them or at least are credited with having them

this has been brought to you by the war machinery nerd that is me

I am doing a long, tedious task so you know what that means: listening to the audio of a 60+ minute video I have heard at least 10 times

The V-22 Osprey prepping for flight! I've always had difficulty getting a nice rotor blur while keeping the Osprey sharp. The rotor just spins so slow! I was able to take this opportunity to sit on the tarmac, brace myself, and try out some slow shutter speeds. Anyone else have trouble getting prop blur on the Osprey or is it just me? 😂
