"Resuming Flight: Pentagon's Plan to Lift V-22 Osprey Grounding"

The Pentagon is set to lift the ban on V-22 Osprey flights next week, three months after a fatal crash in Japan. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has endorsed the military services' plans for a safe return to operations, with the Naval Air Systems Command expected to lift the ban and implement safety measures. The U.S. military will also share its plans with Japan, the only international partner in the Osprey program, and no Ospreys will fly until Japan has been briefed. The Osprey, a military aircraft that can take off like a helicopter and fly like an airplane, has faced safety concerns following recent accidents, impacting the U.S. Marine Corps and other military operations.
