Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?

It’s not a question of how it grips it
It's a simple question of weight ratios. An 841,600-ounce aircraft could not carry a one-pound . . . wait . . .
You don’t need a ramp to STO a V-22 from an LHA/LHD. You just park the LHA/LHD with the ship’s bow facing the uphill part of a big wave to create a temporary “ramp.” But those are advanced SWO TTPs so we can’t discuss details here.
So it appears from this article that running landings down the angle will be the standard/default CV recovery method for the CMV-22B ? Can anyone confirm?

“Power.”
“Nacelles.”
“Brakes, brakes, brakes.”
“Power steering.”
“Aft cyclic.”
These are the calls MV-22 Osprey pilots relay as they come in for a landing on the flight deck aboard the aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77)

What's the advantage of the running landing in this particular scenario? I understand the effects of translational lift, but I don't imagine the thing would be able to carry that much forward momentum with such a short stopping distance required.

Hands off Ukraine! Feet too
Seems to be. At least they're trying RL right now:
Good find @Max the Mad Russian !
I'm guessing the fixed wings are still producing lift with enough wind down the angle, plus that wind will keep the rotors in translational lift as @Brett327 mentioned - between the two you get a max gross landing weight over what you could hover out of ground effect with.

There are significant performance benefits for a harrier doing a rolling vertical landing even as slow as 50kts. When you factor in some wind and the boat’s speed it’s really not that fast. I assume it’s similar for an osprey.
Osprey guys: is there a limitation involving rolling over arresting gear? It looks like they were touching down just past the wires each time.
