The Osprey program highlighted a problem in the defense department's acquisition program. The guy in charge of the program's career depended on the success of the osprey so he kept passing it. Thing went wrong when units in the marines started to test it the the plane fell out of the sky.
There was a big investigation and that man in charge was fired and charges brought against him. The Osprey was grounded while the problems were fixed. Now it's a great air frame.
