Semi-protected edit request on 23 January 2020

Please change "The first CMV-22B made its initial flight on 21 January 2020," to "The first CMV-22B made its initial flight on 19 December 2019," because the existing source [218] is the date of publication, not the actual date of flight. See the below source that verifies the 19 December 2019 date:

 Not done for now: Other, more reliable sources state that the first flight occurred on January 21, 2020. - BilCat (talk) 19:31, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
While neither the Bell nor Boeing explicitly state that the first flight occurred on January 21, it's certainly implied, and other sources do state it explicitly.
Sources that clearly state that the first flight occurred on January 21, 2020:
Hopefully this discrepancy will be cleared up soon. - BilCat (talk) 19:49, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Bell has clarified that the "CMV-22B accomplished its first flight in December 2019". See here. - BilCat (talk) 21:45, 9 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please update the engine developer and type.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allison_Engine_Company#Acquisition_by_Rolls-Royce

Original and today the engine is an Allison. Rolls-Royce bought Allison from General Motors in 1993. The wiki as currently written incorrectly purports that the engine has always been "Rolls-Royce", when it has always been Allison, owned by General Motors until 1993, and then and currently by Rolls Royce.
