Hi Ric,

I like the moon shot and the Ospreys.  I have a small history with the 
program that led to the Osprey.  In 1952, the USAF held a competition 
for vertical take-off, high-speed cruise aircraft. There were 3 
proposals, and I ran wind tunnel tests on the Bell configuration, 
designed by the late Bob Lichten, in the old 20-ft Massey Memorial Wind 
Tunnel at Wright Field.  It was called the Bell Convertiplane.  It was a 
long time getting through a lot of starts and stops before finally being 
produced as the Osprey. And, it is still a very complex aircraft.
