Comments by "Peter Ford" (@peterford9369) on "The V-22 Osprey and why it keeps crashing" video.
@mr.boomguy Yeah, I'd say it's like the metal in any engine or transmission. Lubricant, motor oil, trans fluid keeps metal to metal contact, as best as possible. But it's inevitable you'll get wear. And unlike a car, aircraft are defying gravity, hundreds of ft up. And an engine seizure is or can be fatal. But I'm guessing these wearing parts cause more than just seizure or lock up. It's sounds like the pieces are larger than the fine wear in a car engine. So there is the incinerator that destroys the particles. And possibly that's what causes the ignition of the engine. And with 2 engines required to have level hover. Spinout results. And the speed cannot provide lift. 🙄
