WHEREAS, the V-22 Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft is a project
wi th potential for substantial commercial advantages
for the United States, as well as for the communities
where this technology is developed and constructed;
and,
WHEREAS, the V-22 represents the tangible results of a
continuing commitment to excellence in the providing
of equipment to our armed forces; and,
WHEREAS, the V-22 program has produced not just a design
but an actual flying aircraft capable of meeting
a vi tal need to transport troops greater distances
at greater speeds than with helicopters, yet with
a heliccpter's flexibility to land off airports;
and,
WHEREAS, the development of the V-22 by the military will
assist in developing technology which will be vi tal
for civil aviation as airports and skies become
increasingly more crowded with aircraft which need
miles of concrete runways and long approach paths;
and,
WHEREAS, an interruption of funding for existing contracts
for the development and construction of the V-22
aircraft may well cost us the acknowledged leadership
role this nation has garnered not only in tilt-rotor
design technology, but in aviation exports, thus
further debilitating the trade balance with other
countries;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY COUNCIL OF COLLEYVILLE, TEXAS:
