Maybe, but the F-111 was still the cool kid on the block

True, the V-22 has overcome many difficulties in its time, many of which plagued V/STOL aircraft for well over half a century. A significant portion of the V-22's life was spent attempting to overcome these issues, and many of them have been worked out ... at the cost of many lives.

The design is far from new and revolutionary, however. The American X-18 and X-19 (Curtiss X-200), in particular, did an excellent job spearheading the future V-22 design and principles. I think the X-19 could have easily been the first V-22, if Curtiss had been willing to put more interest and funding into the project (the military was certainly interested even back then). Many countries had also been toying with the idea, at various levels of success; the Russian Yak-38, for instance, was even successful enough to enter 'combat'.

The first decade of the V-22's life were relatively pathetic. Many more modifications, training exercises and desperate attempts at keeping the project alive have allowed the V-22 to limp its way into the history books, but I personally find it to be far from an impressive aircraft. I guess it isn't entirely the Osprey's fault that it had such a rough start, and the military seems to be gung-ho about it. The bottom line is that they really need this design, and so it's pretty much guaranteed to succeed.

Although not the best, it was still a relatively important aircraft ... even NASA adopted a -144 for SST testing in the '90s. My vote would go to the X-27, but then again that never even got a chance to fly. How about the V-22 then?

Subject: What aircraft would you trust with your life?
Name: fightingfalcon
Message: the F-16 kicks butt. It is small, lightweght, cheap, highly meanuverable, flew the most missions in Operation Desert storm, is the primary air defense fighter of the USAF, and to close my arguement i would like to take a statement from globalaircraft.org itself:

In an air combat role, the F-16's maneuverability and combat radius (distance it can fly to enter air combat, stay, fight and return) exceed that of all potential threat fighter aircraft. It can locate targets in all weather conditions and detect low flying aircraft in radar ground clutter. In an air-to-surface role, the F-16 can fly more than 500 miles (860 kilometers), deliver its weapons with superior accuracy, defend itself against enemy aircraft, and return to its starting point. An all-weather capability allows it to accurately deliver ordnance during non-visual bombing conditions.

that is what it says. look it up. I didn't change a word. Sure it may not be as "high tech" as the F/A-22 or F-35 but hey that thing is sticking around for a VERY long time.

Message: If you mean a blockbuster type movie, then I'll have to sit and think about any good aircraft movies with the F-22. I doubt there are many, if any.

If you want a clip movie of the aircraft, you can go to GA TV and watch some there. For F-22 movies of this type, check out http://www.f22fighter.com.
