About the CMV-22B Osprey:

The CMV-22B Osprey is the US Navy’s latest tiltrotor aircraft, based on the V-22 platform but adapted for long-range carrier onboard delivery missions. It can transport personnel, supplies, and oversized cargo like the F-35C’s engine modules. Compared to the MV-22 variant, it offers increased range and enhanced communication systems.
