The V-22 Osprey is a tilt-rotor aircraft used by the US Marine Corps as the MV-22B for air assault, by the US Air Force as the CV-22B for special operations, and more recently by the US Navy as the CMV-22B for Carrier onboard Delivery (COD) where it replaced the C-2A Greyhound fixed-wing airplane in the aircraft carrier supply mission.

To date, over 900 AE1107C engines have been produced with over 965,000 flying hours accumulated. More than 480 V-22 Ospreys have been or are about to be ordered.
