Bell Boeing Wins $1.64B for Osprey Aircraft Components
The U.S. Navy awarded Bell Boeing $1.64 billion to provide components for the Osprey tiltrotor aircraft.
The contract covers repair, replacement, required availability, configuration management, and inventory management for supply support for 228 MV-22B (Marine); CMV-22 (Navy); and CV-22 (Air Force) Osprey aircraft components, as per a DoD release issued Thursday.
Work is expected to be completed by December 2026.
The V-22 Osprey has both vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) and short takeoff and landing (STOL) capabilities. It is designed to combine the functionality of a conventional helicopter with the long-range, high-speed cruise performance of a turboprop aircraft.
