United States air force resumed flights convertiplanes CV-22 Osprey after a two-week break. Is this pause was with the investigation after several incidents with these convertiplane, standing on the armament of U.S. troops.

The press Secretary of the U.S. air force and after the resumption of operation of the "Osprey" was given to understand that is not fully able to identify the exact cause many technical problems that manifested themselves during the flight convertiplanes. Moreover, failed to solve the problem.

From the statement of the press Secretary of the air force of the United States:

We continue to strive to understand what is the main problem to find and implement the material solution.

It is reported that the pilots received a Directive from command "to execute the pilot without limit loads on the convertiplane and to convey information about possible issues command".

The press service of the U.S. air force:

Pilot CV-22 Osprey will be conducted using a number of methods to reduce risk, to avoid problems with the engines of these cars.

Recall that the operation of the convertiplane "Osprey" was suspended on 17 August after two incidents of these aircraft, which occurred within six weeks.

Created the Commission has identified a number of technical problems, while not yet able to conclude that a particular reason.

It is reported that there is a "hard clutch operation":

Clutch inside the transmission which connects one of the two engines Rolls-Royce AE1107C Liberty CV-22 rotor propeller slips for an unknown reason. When this happens, the power load almost instantly transferred to the other engine feature enables Osprey to keep flying even if one engine fails. Then the initial coupling is switched back on, and power load quickly returns to the original rotor propeller and engine.

This leads to the fact that the crew has to decide immediately on landing, as there is a risk of complete loss of control of tiltrotor.

Now tech experts are trying to figure out what is the specific cause of problems with the transmission.

Interestingly, to resume the operation of the convertiplane decided until the moment when this problem finally understand this and it will solve.

In the American military-themed press are wondering: is this a high risk to the pilots?
