I will not be satisfied at all unless the V-22's design allows for safe power off landings and that ability has been thoroughly demonstrated.

I will not be fully satisfied unless the V-22's design is shown to comply with the safety design criteria that have been proven necessary over the century of aircraft development that we cannot ignore by greed driven fiat.

As I've said and implied before in the Osprey threads, the crew voluntarily puts their lives on the line, but there's a higher responsibility on the designers, manufacturers, ground support and crew when passengers are involved.

There being nothing further to consider, the V-22 program should be terminated.

And it really burns me that they are testing it on non-volunteers who are ordered to ride it.
