And they're oriented so the V-280 to carry forward-firing and side-facing weaponry, which on the Osprey threatened to hit the engines or rotors. Their placement allows troops to hop in from the sides, instead of using only the rear ramp, like on the Osprey. The resulting battle resulted in the destruction of most of Umbrella's military forces, as only the Racoon City facility remained active by the end of the Global T-Virus Pandemic.Those non-rotating engines, meantime, won’t burn grass or landing pads during takeoff and landing. Only Alice and Wesker survived the massacre. This desperate defense proved to be a feint, as Wesker betrayed the remnants of humanity, with the remaining military forces wiped out by the undead horde. As they returned, Alice and her compatriots witnessed as the remnants of the Umbrella and United States Military made a last-stand against the overwhelming hordes of creatures surrounding the White House. Having been alerted to Alice's survival in Umbrella Prime, at least one VTOL was sent to the area to recover Alice and her teammates. where they participated in the desperate defense of the White House under the command of Albert Wesker. Sometime following the attack, the vast majority of Umbrella's Security Service were recalled to Washington D.C. Deploying several military units to the ship, Umbrella VTOLs played a vital role in eliminating the survivors as squads of operatives were sent to capture the remainign survivors still left following the initial attack. Roughly six months after the destruction of their HQ in Tokyo, elements of the Umbrella Security Service became alerted to the seizing of the Arcadia.

However, the real Alice infiltrated the plane prior to the attack, and attacked Wesker, causing the plane to crash but not before he successfully re-infected her with the T-Virus. These VTOLs also possessed the ability for auto-pilot, allowing the aircraft to remain in flight even if the pilot(s) died or were unavailable.ĭuring Alice's attack on Umbrella's Tokyo HQ, Albert Wesker evacuated onboard one such aircraft shortly after destroying the facility. At least two variants of the Osprey was created, one served as transportation aircraft, whilst the other served as a gunship. During the pandemic and subsequent collapse of humanity, the Ospreys were used extensively for a variety of purposes, including military operations and evacuation of high-ranking personal. Utilized exclusively by the Umbrella Corporation, the company possessed a fleet of these aircraft during the events of the Global T-Virus Pandemic.
