The V-22 Osprey has had 16 hull loss accidents that have resulted in a total of 55 fatalities. During testing from 1991 to 2000, there were four crashes resulting in 30 fatalities.[1] Since becoming operational in 2007, the V-22 has had 11 crashes, including two combat-zone crashes,[2][3] and several other accidents and incidents that resulted in a total of 25 fatalities.

Damn. How does that compare to other vehicles during those same timeframes?

Not good at all. I did a search for Chinook crashes over that same timeframe. There isn’t much there other than some shot down in combat. The Chinook has been in service since the early 1960s.




I only see two crashes during the same 2007 to today timeframe. One was a Peruvian Chinook, the other Canadian. I don’t see any American accidents since 2005 and that was caused by the pilot becoming disoriented in a sandstorm.
