Snapshot Osprey strike A Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey fires a rocket during testing late last year at the U.S. Army proving grounds in Yuma, Ariz. The trials showed the Osprey can be armed with a variety of forward-facing munitions such as rockets and missiles that can hit their targets reliably, further increasing the capabilities of the unique tilt-rotor aircraft, according to Bell and Boeing. 08 Boeing Fronti ers The ability of the Osprey to land and take off like a helicopter but fly fast like a fixed-wing aircraft allows it to perform a variety of military and humanitarian missions. More than 240 have been delivered to the U.S. Marine Corps. It also is operated by the U.S. Air Force Special Operations Command. PHOTO : Bell
