    A V-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft is on the deck of a naval vessel, with its rotors spinning in helicopter mode. A group of approximately 10-12 deck crew members in color-coded safety vests and helmets are positioned in front of the aircraft, with one individual appearing to signal the pilots. The scene takes place on what appears to be an amphibious assault ship or aircraft carrier deck over open water under overcast skies.
