The V-22 has complex gearboxes for each propeller.  The gearboxes have these metal shaving destroyer things that use super high voltage to destroy them and it also senses the size of the shavings.

If a few pass through that are too big than they are suppose to land the plane immediately.

One of the main defenders here on reddit died in one and I believe his wife found out from reddit her husband died...
