The United States Department of Defense (DoD) initiated a program to develop an innovative transport aircraft, with long-range, high-speed, and vertical-takeoff capabilities the Joint-service Vertical take-off/landing Experimental (JVX) program officially commenced in 1981.
In 1980, the failure of Operation Eagle Claw (during the Iran hostage crisis), underscored that there were military roles for which neither conventional helicopters nor fixed-wing transport aircraft were well-suited. It is designed to combine the functionality of a conventional helicopter with the long-range, high-speed cruise performance of a turboprop aircraft. The Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey is an American multi-mission, tiltrotor military aircraft with both vertical takeoff and landing ( VTOL) and short takeoff and landing ( STOL) capabilities.
