Boeing [BA] said recently the V-22 Osprey drew “significant interest” at the Dubai Airshow held last month, potentially raising the prospects of selling the tiltrotor aircraft internationally.
“The V-22 Osprey received significant interest at the Dubai Airshow from potential customers from around the world,” said John Rader, executive director of the Bell Boeing V-22 program. “It is clear the V-22 is the right solution for those seeking range, speed, payload, and operational efficiency for military and humanitarian operations.”
The Dubai Airshow was held in the United Arab Emirates from Nov. 13-17.
The V-22 is flown by the Marine Corps and Air Force Special Operations Command.
The Bell Boeing V-22 program is a strategic partnership between Boeing and Bell Helicopter Textron [TXT].
