Joe Leitner, the 2nd Aircraft Wing\u2019s director of communication strategy and operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Leitner said an investigation into the mishap is underway. He did not provide an estimate of the damage or projected cost of repairs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Bell Boeing Osprey aircraft, which takes off and lands like a helicopter but can transition its propellers to fly like an airplane, has a history of issues and mishaps that have resulted in the deaths of 65 service members since 2000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2023, the Defense Department <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2023\/12\/07\/us-military-grounds-entire-fleet-of-osprey-aircraft\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2023\/12\/07\/us-military-grounds-entire-fleet-of-osprey-aircraft\/\">grounded<\/a> the entire fleet following the crash of an Air Force CV-22B Osprey which was determined to have been caused by the failure of the left-hand prop rotor gear box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.airforcetimes.com\/news\/your-air-force\/2023\/12\/06\/air-force-recovers-bodies-of-6-airmen-killed-in-osprey-crash-in-japan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.airforcetimes.com\/news\/your-air-force\/2023\/12\/06\/air-force-recovers-bodies-of-6-airmen-killed-in-osprey-crash-in-japan\/\">crash<\/a>, which killed eight Air Force Special Operations Command members, followed numerous reports of problems and a deadly 2022 mishap caused by a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2023\/12\/07\/ospreys-had-history-of-safety-issues-long-before-they-were-grounded\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2023\/12\/07\/ospreys-had-history-of-safety-issues-long-before-they-were-grounded\/\">sprag clutch<\/a>, a component that works to ensure that both rotors spin at the same speed, keeping the aircraft in balance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tuesday\u2019s fire at the Mesa Gateway Airport occurred roughly 65 miles from the Marine Corps\u2019 deadliest accident involving an Osprey aircraft. On April 8, 2000, 19 Marines died during a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinecorpstimes.com\/news\/your-marine-corps\/2016\/05\/07\/the-long-lonely-battle-to-vindicate-two-dishonored-military-pioneers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.marinecorpstimes.com\/news\/your-marine-corps\/2016\/05\/07\/the-long-lonely-battle-to-vindicate-two-dishonored-military-pioneers\/\">night exercise<\/a> at Marana Regional Airport near Tucson, seven years before the MV-22 was officially fielded in the Corps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Investigators concluded that pilot error caused that fatal accident, with the pilots descending at 250% the acceptable rate, creating a \u201cvortex ring state\u201d that resulted in an unrecoverable situation from a rotor stall and loss of lift. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A later investigation cleared the pilots of wrongdoing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Defense Department is slated to close its Osprey production line in fiscal 2028, according to the Congressional Research Service. The DoD has purchased 469 Osprey aircraft: 360 for the Marine Corps; 53 for the Navy; and 56 for the Air Force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recently, the Marine Corps MV-22s participated in the daylong military flyovers on July 4 in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Service officials said the aircraft that caught fire Sunday was not among those taking part in the 250th Independence Day celebrations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The tiltrotor aircraft caught fire Sunday while taking off from an airport in Mesa,
