...killing the program - or possibly killing those aboard the V-22 - the Marines have opted to save the plane and have largely shifted responsibility for surviving such a catastrophe from the designers to the pilots. While the engineers spent years vainly trying to solve the problem, pilots aboard a stricken V-22 will have just seconds to react. But tellingly, pilots have never practiced the maneuver outside the simulator - the flight manual forbids it - and even in simulators the results have been less than reassuring.
