With a globally deployed force completing dynamic missions in demanding environments, the United States Marine Corps relies on tiltrotor capabilities to move troops, equipment and supplies. Combining the benefits of a fixed and rotor-wing aircraft, the Bell Boeing V-22 can fly at the speed of a turboprop plane and touch down without a runway.

One huge advantage the V-22 offers is its marinized design that can withstand external impacts from coastal or sea environments. Corrosion resistant materials and protective coating make this durable platform resistant to the adverse effects of salt water. Ultimately, an already marinized aircraft reduces cost of long-term sustainability and sets you up for successful amphibious missions. Marinization also serves to improve the maintainability and sustainability of the V-22 in other environments. The same environmental treatments that protect against salt-water near the coast also protect against the harmful effects of sand and other debris.

Whether on land, overseas or along a shoreline, the Bell Boeing V-22 is ready to take on any domain. The USMC stands ready to perform exercises in the Indo-Pacific region.
