yeah but some say, and I quote, the Osprey is ridiculously over-engineered
If you want simple don't go looking into modern military aviation.

The mission demands that Osprey was started for are a stretch of the possible. It was to create a means of transporting troops and equipment at a turboprop range but with vertical take off and landing. The Navy and Marines though added that is needs to be able to operate off a naval ship and inside the hanger space of a LHD. These are beyond the ability of a conventional rotorcraft or fixed wing transport. But those too were once beyond the "Simple".

Language in the bill specifically stops the delivery of F-35 Joint Strike Fighters to Turkey—a NATO ally and one of the first international partners on the program dating back two decades. Turkey has plans to buy 100 of the stealthy fighters, 30 of which are already on order, and has invested $1.2B into the program so far.

sure the requirement to fold in 90 (ninety) seconds is justified, right?

actually out of several "game changers" (I think you know what programs I mean), the Osprey is the one I personally like, well I'm aware of its "widow-maker" label,
