Families Sue Aircraft Makers Over Fatal 2022 Marine Osprey Crash

The families of four Marines who died in a V-22 Osprey crash in California in June 2022 have filed a lawsuit against Bell Textron, Boeing, and Rolls-Royce, alleging negligence and failure to disclose safety issues. The lawsuit claims that mechanical failures, including a recurrent clutch problem and a defective Interconnect Drive System, contributed to the crash. The military has grounded and then gradually returned the Osprey fleet to service, citing identified issues, but investigations into recent crashes continue.

Textron awarded $279 million in patent infringement case against DJI.

Bell Textron has won a $279 million lawsuit against DJI for patent infringement in their hometown. The lawsuit was based on four patents related to drone technology, including a control system for causing a vehicle to have a selected position or selected velocity relative to a reference vehicle, a system for achieving and maintaining a circular flight path around a selected fixed or moving point, flight control laws for automatic hover hold, and an aircraft visual sensor system. This win could potentially lead to Bell Textron going after all Blue sUAS companies.

Lockheed's protest of Textron's Army helicopter deal denied by GAO.

The US Government Accountability Office (GAO) has denied Sikorsky-Boeing's protest against the US Army's decision to award Bell Textron the Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) contract. The GAO concluded that the Army reasonably evaluated Sikorsky's proposal as technically unacceptable. The Army and Bell Textron are now cleared to proceed with the V-280 Valor tiltrotor as the new FLRAA. The Sikorsky-Boeing team said it still believes that it submitted the "most capable, affordable and lowest-risk" design and is not ready to give up on the deal worth up to $70 billion.
