General knowledge thread

Blisterman

Since this is the Table quiz forum, how about a thread where you ask a table quiz style question, and whoever gets it gets to ask another. Just like all those specific ones, except about anything.

The US have the V-22 Osprey

With its first flight in 1989, the V-22 has been in development for more than 25 years and despite having consumed $20 billion the Osprey program will require another $35 billion in investments from the Pentagon before the program is finished.[11] A total of 458 V-22s are expected to be built for the Marines, U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy at an average unit cost of $110 million per aircraft.[

not only is it expensive it also has the nasty habit of falling out of the sky

But half a century ago the Brits had a machine with similar capabilities, it didn't go ahead because the government didn't want to invest a few million pounds.

what was that aircraft ?

Orion

Are you talking about the Hawker?

and on a point of order re: the brown line in the underground -

The Bakerloo line is brown and the Hammersmith line is pink

. (I looked it up tbh seeing as the question had been lost

)

[edit]scratch that answer - Hawker was manufacturer not a plane - can't remember the name of the plane that was dumped but think it was them - and I'm not thinking of the Harrier.

Capt'n Midnight

No it wasn't Hawker, but it was another fairly innovative company
