Mission Ready, My Ass!

The V-22 Osprey has been grounded yet again, this time for engine fires. It appears that a problem in the engine air particle separator (EAPS) leads to hydraulic leaks (a constant problem with the aircraft) into the engine exhaust.

All things considered, the idea of going with ultra-high pressure hydraulics to save weight in the V-22 was a bad idea.
