The Bell Boeing MV-22 Osprey made its international air show debut at Farnborough this week after a pair of the tiltrotors completed their transatlantic journeys from their base at Marine Corps Air Station New River, North Carolina. One of the aircraft was held up overnight in Keflavik, Iceland, after suffering a technical problem.

More than a year after a fatal V-22 crash killed eight US Air Force personnel, a recent “near-crash” has prompted the Pentagon to order fleet-wide inspections of a problematic component, while plans for a long-term mechanical fix remain uncertain.
The Spanish air force has taken delivery of its first NH Industries NH90 tactical transport helicopter, launching its introduction of the type’s latest Standard 3 configuration.
Bell is to establish a new component manufacturing facility in support of the US Army’s Future Long Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) programme in Fort Worth, Texas.
