Postage Stamp Collection PS 53782

HMX-1 “The Nighthawks”
Marine Helicopter Squadron One is a United States Marine Corps unit responsible for the transportation of the President and vice president of the United States and other VIPs. Established on December 1, 1947, assigned the sole responsibility of providing helicopter support to the President in 1976.
The Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey is an American medium-lift, multi-mission, tiltrotor aircraft. Developed jointly by Boeing and Bell Helicopters, it first flew on March 19, 1989, entering service in 2007 with the United States Marine Corps (USMC). It was designated as the MV-22 with the USMC, CV-22 with the USAF and CMV-22 with the US Navy.
The tiltrotor design allows for the vertical flight capabilities of a helicopter. When airborne, the engine nacelles rotate forward 90 degrees, converting the V-22 into a high-speed, fuel-efficient turboprop aeroplane. In addition, it is entirely shipboard compatible, with a blade folding and wing stowage system.
Composite materials make up 43% of the airframe, rotor blades are also of composites, and copper is laminated to the outer skin panels for lightning protection. The crew consists of two pilots and a crew chief.
Powered by two Rolls-Royce T406-AD-400 turboprop/turboshaft engines mounted on either wingtip, coupled by drive shafts through a central gearbox, powering two three-blade main rotors. The armament consists of a single machine gun mounted on the back ramp, one minigun, belly-mounted remotely controlled.
