A U.S. Marine Corps crew chief assigned to the Marine Medium Tilt Rotor Squadron 162, Marine Corps Air Station New River, N.C., boards a MV-22B Osprey after marshalling others off the flightline at MacDill Air Force Base, Florida, March 11, 2025. The Osprey is unique in that it uses two engines positioned on fixed wing tips housed in nacelles that rotate to allow the V-22 to land and take off vertically, but achieve much faster flight than a helicopter by tilting the nacelles forward while in flight in a configuration similar to a fixed-wing aircraft.
