The military s dozen V-22s have been grounded since Dec. 11, 2000, after two crashes left 23 Marines dead. After the crashes, the military slowed the rate of production to the minimum -- 11 a year -- to keep the assembl stanley flasche y line functioning. Several modifications were made because of the crashes, and no Osprey will fly without them, Nevers said.

Rather, water likely will cost more because of higher costs associated |
