Vertical Take Off & Landing

The Nord Aviation N 500 Cadet was a single-seat VTOL research aircraft built by Nord Aviation in 1967.

The aircraft was driven by two ducted fans, with three blades per fan, mounted on short wings that were able to pivot between providing vertical and horizontal thrust.

Two prototypes were constructed, one making its first (tethered) flight in July 1968.

Gyrocopter for private purposes. Cheaper and easier to pilot than a helicopter.

Helicopters & Leer Jets?!

Truly interested in helicopters as well having my own Leer Jet!
I as one long-winged through much longsufferings!
Waiting on The HIGHEST,under HIS wings,I'm so promoted & strengthened,renewed as the eagles! So it's flight time on earth as it is in the SPIRIT!angel applause

SHORT SC1 was the first VTOL aircraft, built by GB and originated as a flight deck for the newly developed turbojet of RB.108 stall.

It was an aircraft type very lanky with delta wings at low implantation and tricycle landing gear fixed, in which the power plant consisted of an engine in the rear fuselage to the front drive and four mounted the center fuselage components directly and front push stall, these last placed in transverse pairs with a slight fore and aft movement for braking.

The first prototype flew on 57 April with only the tail and the engine would join him after August 58 the second prototype with five engines. The powerplant thrust vector P.1127 VTOL system become SC.1 somewhat obsolete, but nevertheless was completed extensive testing program before the machines were eventually dropped.

Ryan XV-5 was a simple but enterprising apparatus designed to investigate VTOL operations. Had a large diameter fan between the beams of each of their stockings wings generating buoyancy and a smaller one in the bow which provided pitch control in vertical flight.

Each of the vertical fans above was covered with a two-piece gate and bottom hinged longitudinally by a hinged installation several baffles were driven transversely through peripheral blades for two turbojets. Two XV-5 were built, first flew on May 64. Despite the perdidad of one on April 65, it took out an extensive and successful testing program.

The second prototype was developed in the XV-5B with various modifications to the landing gear, cabin and thrust deflector system mounted in the tail.

The Bartini Beriev VVA-14 was a vertical take-off amphibious aircraft that was developed in the Soviet Union during the 1970s Designed to be able to take off from the water and fly at high speed over long distances, could make Flight great height, but also had the ability to fly efficiently above the sea surface.

The sikorski cypher UAV, and the cypher II.

I've read that it's a "black project", and even that have been taken as a UFO, don't know.

All I know is that it flies thanks to its opposing fans, as some helicopters.

Autogyro, or gyrocopter, a precursor of helicopters and STOL planes.

Invented by a spanish, btw.
