Note: The below pics are hot on the internet but a check of the French Marine website reveals that they had to over come quite a few obstacles to putting on this demonstration. First the only deck spot rated to handle the MV-22's weight is the number one spot. Next they were concerned about heating issues due to the jet blast from the Osprey's engines. We can talk interoperability all day long but their are some major issues to consider before we make it work. At the end of the day this is only propaganda dressed up as concept worthy of pursuit.
