(The trademark screen at start-up identifies the V-22 variant in AC7 as the MV-22. It can reasonably be assumed that the model in AC04 is an MV-22 as well, judging by the paint scheme.) |

The V-22[2] is a transportation helicopter that features a special tiltrotor design. Multiple variants exist, including the MV-22 assault transport. It has made few appearances in the Ace Combat franchise.
Design
The V-22 model used in Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies
The V-22 was designed in 1982[3] as the first practical tiltrotor VTOL aircraft in history. When a V-22 takes off, its rotors are pointed upward like a typical helicopter to provide lift. After takeoff, the V-22 lowers its rotors towards the front to provide stable flight.[2]
The V-22's specifications are as follows:[2]
- Length: 17.47 m
- Width: 25.78 m
- Height: 5.28 m
- Weight: 14,460 kg
- Top Speed: Mach 0.5
- Cruising Distance: 2,224 km
History
MV-22s were in service with the Federal Erusea Air Force during the Continental War. During Operation Autumn Thunder, Erusea's top military leaders attempted to escape using four MV-22s. All were shot down during the operation. However, a fifth MV-22 was supposed to take off and attempt escape as well, carrying the Erusian supreme commander at the time; for some reason, it never took off, and the supreme commander had died due to some circumstance by the time ISAF discovered the chopper.[1]
The MV-22 was also present during the Lighthouse War, the extent of which is currently unclear.[4]
The MV-22 eventually received a COFFIN variant, the V-22B.[3]
