Accidents and incidents involving the V-22 Osprey

The Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey is an American military tiltrotor aircraft whose history of accidents have provoked concerns about its safety. The aircraft was developed by Bell Helicopter and Boeing Helicopters, which build and support the aircraft.

As of November 2023, 16 V-22 Ospreys have been damaged beyond repair in accidents that have killed a total of 62 people. Four of the crashes occurred during developmental flight tests; these killed a total of 30 people from 1991 to 2000. Since the V-22 became operational in 2007, 12 crashes and several other accidents and incidents have killed a total of 32 people.

Most of the crashes have involved the most numerous of the aircraft's three variants: the MV-22B, procured and flown by the U.S. Marine Corps. A handful of crashes have involved CV-22Bs, flown by U.S. Air Force Special Operations Command. No crashes have involved the CMV-22B, the carrier onboard delivery variant flown by the U.S. Navy.
