The aircraft carrier delivery version of the Osprey tiltrotor has been funded for production, as the major part of a third multi-year buy (MYB) contract award to the Bell-Boeing partnership. The U.S. Navy will acquire a total of 39 CMV-22B versions to replace C-2 Greyhounds that have been in service since the mid-1960s.
