This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

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.

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]

Error in this article

This article contains the text "[these powertrain improvements] should also improve reliability in high-altitude, high-heat conditions and boost maximum payload limitations from 6,000 to 8,000 shp"

The final part of this phrase implies that "maximum payload" is measured in shaft horsepower (shp). That is nonsense. I believe that what is meant is that the powertrain improvements will increase the available shp, which in turn will increase the maximum payload. 2A00:23EE:2300:3A36:1FD:973D:E357:91CF (talk) 18:04, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely. Rather disappointing that nobody has remedied this. 146.199.81.84 (talk) 22:36, 6 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 22 May 2023

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.
