Simplified, Streamlined Nacelle Changes Speed Maintenance Process, Reduce Costs
The V-22 Osprey has seen the first of the fleet's upcoming enhancements under the Nacelle Improvements Modification program. Bell and Boeing have sought to reduce costs and maintenance time by refining wiring and access components within the engine nacelle. The fix has intruiged other domestic operators of the aircraft type, with the Marine Corps and Navy citing interest in acquiring the same nacelle improvements for their MV-22 and CMV-22B variants.
