Mais il n'y a pas une perte capacitaire entre un osprey et un C-2 Greyhound ?

this has also been one of a number of sources of controversy regarding the Navy's decision to replace the C-2A with the CMV-22. While the Navy is correct in stating that the Greyhounds cannot carry these engines, the process of doing so with the CMV-22B is complex and requires special equipment and procedures that are subject to very tight tolerances.

There have been other concerns about the space necessary for the aircraft to take off and land from a carrier, as well as simply maneuver around the flight deck, and whether this could slow down launching and recovering aircraft and at critical moments. Most critically, in its most compact configuration, the CMV-22B cannot move around under its own power.

Beyond that, the Osprey is not pressurized like the Greyhound, which limits its maximum altitude, especially when carrying passengers. This would prevent the tilt-rotors from simply flying over severe storms and other bad weather, forcing them to take more complicated and roundabout routes, which could make it more difficult and risky for them to fly essential missions to and from carriers regardless of the weather.
