A U.S. Air Force CV-22B Osprey is shown in level flight during an air-to-air sortie conducted for USAFE Days 2023. The tiltrotor aircraft combines helicopter and fixed-wing characteristics to support special operations missions. Serial 08-0050 is powered by two Rolls-Royce AE 1107C turboshaft engines that drive the proprotors and allow in-flight transition between vertical and horizontal flight modes. The image documents the aircraft’s operational role in Europe.
