The Osprey is a military aircraft that takes off like a helicopter and then rotates its propellers to fly like a plane.
The settlement agreement, which was signed by legal representation for Boeing and the Justice Department, noted that Boeing denied the allegations it was not meeting requirements.
A Boeing spokesperson said the company "entered a settlement agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Navy to resolve certain False Claims Act allegations, without admission of liability."
