V-22 has compressor stall

[TrafficInSight]

Pretty interesting, they have a choice to auto-rotate it or to glide it, maybe both?

From what I hear, it's neither. But as someone else mentioned, either engine can drive both rotors.

There's a central transmission (if I remeber right) that both engines can supply power too... if one engine fails, power from the good engine drives both props. I'll ask a V-22 friend for more details...

You mean this 70's technology? You're a model of educated opinions....
