00:00.140 --> 00:03.330
the CV 22 is unique

00:03.330 --> 00:06.610
aircraft . We've accomplished amazing

00:06.610 --> 00:08.610
things with the CV 22 over the last

00:08.610 --> 00:10.666
decade , but the simple truth is for

00:10.666 --> 00:12.610
the last decade , really , we've ,

00:12.610 --> 00:14.610
we've needed more flying hours than

00:14.610 --> 00:17.820
we've been able to get the components

00:17.820 --> 00:20.490
that allow it to tilt forward and and

00:20.490 --> 00:22.490
turn into an airplane is really the

00:22.490 --> 00:26.050
nacelle the

00:26.460 --> 00:28.293
muscles , the way they are now ,

00:28.293 --> 00:30.516
there's a , there's a lot of clutter in

00:30.516 --> 00:32.650
there , the way the wiring is ran , a

00:32.660 --> 00:34.716
lot of that takes a lot of intensive

00:34.716 --> 00:36.882
maintenance hours that we're trying to

00:36.882 --> 00:38.993
cut back on so that we get good fixes

00:38.993 --> 00:38.520
and we can get more reliable aircraft

00:38.520 --> 00:42.400
up in the air , 60% of the

00:42.400 --> 00:44.622
maintenance occurs in the nacelles . So

00:44.622 --> 00:46.678
what the Nacelle improvement program

00:46.678 --> 00:48.789
allows us to do is really address and

00:48.789 --> 00:50.622
improve on those reliability and

00:50.622 --> 00:52.789
sustainment issues that we've seen and

00:52.789 --> 00:55.490
learned over the last decade but still

00:55.490 --> 00:57.720
have the same amazing capability going

00:57.720 --> 01:00.560
forward . The end result is the same ,

01:00.570 --> 01:02.950
amazing capability for the joint forced

01:02.960 --> 01:06.410
but more reliable and sustainable .

01:07.340 --> 01:09.284
The innocent improvements that are

01:09.284 --> 01:11.173
happening here at Bell's Amarilla

01:11.173 --> 01:13.173
facility . Once they complete those

01:13.173 --> 01:15.062
modifications and and improve the

01:15.062 --> 01:17.173
aircraft , we then take those back to

01:17.173 --> 01:19.451
Canon and employ them out of the fleet .

01:19.451 --> 01:22.960
It's a huge sense of pride knowing that

01:22.960 --> 01:25.071
we get to partner with the customer ,

01:25.071 --> 01:27.330
their mission is our mission and it was

01:27.340 --> 01:29.740
truly through the partnership and

01:29.750 --> 01:31.528
utilizing their direct customer

01:31.528 --> 01:33.900
feedback that is allowing us to make

01:33.900 --> 01:37.170
our product better . Ultimately , as we

01:37.170 --> 01:39.337
are increasing the reliability and the

01:39.337 --> 01:41.660
sustainability . We're driving down the

01:41.660 --> 01:45.030
cost to make it more beneficial for the

01:45.030 --> 01:47.320
artisans and the maintainers that are

01:47.320 --> 01:49.598
using it in their specific environment .

01:49.740 --> 01:53.970
We

01:53.970 --> 01:55.859
persevered Downrange , you know ,

01:55.859 --> 01:57.970
through the grit and ingenuity of our

01:57.970 --> 02:00.320
airmen . What's exciting is layered on

02:00.320 --> 02:02.209
top of that once you have to sell

02:02.209 --> 02:04.098
improved aircraft and we start to

02:04.098 --> 02:06.560
realize those gains . Its it's exciting

02:06.560 --> 02:08.782
to think about what we can accomplish ,

02:08.782 --> 02:10.949
you know , having accomplished so much

02:10.949 --> 02:13.060
where we can go from here now that we

02:13.060 --> 02:15.116
have , you know , even better , even

02:15.116 --> 02:17.282
more reliable , sustainable aircraft ,

02:17.282 --> 02:19.282
same capability , same airmen , but

02:19.282 --> 02:21.520
better training , better readiness .

02:21.520 --> 02:23.742
And really , that allows us to pivot to

02:23.742 --> 02:25.964
the challenges of tomorrow with an even

02:25.964 --> 02:27.131
more capable force ,

02:30.040 --> 02:30.460
mm hmm .
