there has been another accident, so its 13 now. the specific page Accidents and incidents involving the V-22 Osprey has already been updated, this page not.--91.64.59.86 (talk) 13:38, 19 March 2022 (UTC) 91.64.59.86 (talk) 13:38, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It is written that: "Because of the requirement for folding rotors, their 38-foot (11.6 m) diameter is 5 feet (1.5 m) less than optimal for vertical takeoff, resulting in high disk loading.[105]"

Unfortunately that source [105] nowhere states that. And also by an engineering point of view that claim doesn't make any sense: there's no universal "optimal" disk loading, each rotorcraft has its own optimal disk loading according to its mission. 95.91.254.251 (talk) 21:50, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not done The source states "the Osprey’s rotors are 38 feet in diameter — about five feet less than would have been optimum for an aircraft designed to carry 24 Marines and take off vertically at a maximum gross weight of 52,600 lbs., according to engineers who helped design it."

Regarding my edit request of the 9th December:

firstly, oops sorry I really didn't see that sentence; secondly, can then please the full sentence be copied over i.e. with the "in respect to an aircraft designed to carry 24 Marines and take off vertically at a maximum gross weight of 52,600 lbs". A comparison without a term of comparison doesn't make much sense.

Thanks 2A02:3033:408:5169:758B:75BD:3879:E7BA (talk) 09:34, 10 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. BilCat (talk) 10:16, 10 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
