Navy Decides to Buy V-22 Ospreys for Carrier Delivery (Breaking Defense)

Remember the F-35 engine dont fit on the cargo space of V-22!!!!!!

At least not in regular fashion, with its usual shipping packaging. I understand it could be broken down, or the packaging altered in some way to fit the V-22 internally. But of course that means $$$.

A 2004 PDF with fun graphs and figures. If those figures would have survived to date, the V-22 COD wouldn't like quite so much of a head scratcher.
