Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey – $118 million

There is no better aircraft for vertical take-off and landing than the V-22 Osprey. The two Rolls-Royce engines with three propellers produce 6,150 horsepower, which translates to a top speed of 316 miles per hour, which is excellent for a VTOL. Furthermore, the Boeing V-22 Osprey can reach a very high altitude for a vehicle of this type, 25,000 feet, and can carry 24 passengers and four crew members. The plane costs $118 million, which isn’t much considering how many people it has rescued during its missions.
