Osprey costs down $1 million a plane, but budgeting crucial

Article Abstract:

The costs of the Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft have reduced to more than $1 million per plane, but continued cost cuts will depend heavily on Congress supplying funds needed to increase Osprey production. The main aim is to reduce the Osprey costs from a former high of about to $78 million per aircraft to less than $60 million and, hence, the program is heavily dependent on the Pentagon's budget to achieve the targets.
