MARINE CORPS AIR STATION NEW RIVER, N.C. (Jan. 10, 2006) -- Marines from Marine Aircraft Group-29 and the future Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron-263 conducted an exercise Jan. 5 at their squadron hangar to discover how much space the MV-22 Osprey would take up once put inside the hangar, which will be the future home of the tiltrotor squadron this spring.
Space will be an important concern for future squadrons as they try to accomadate a new aircraft in limited space.
The Marines tried to fit the Osprey while in several different configurations - with the rotors vertical, horizontal, and tilted.
