Two X-22A were constructed till now. The first suffered heavy damage in August of 1965 and remaining parts were used to complete the second X-22a. Flights were conducted from March, 1966 to October, 1984.
A350H Airliner design is inspired by the shape of a dolphin, it has an aerodynamical form to achieve high speed with minimum effort. As a new type of airliner, A350H has been designed to be more friendly to the environment by using cryogenic hydrogen that is contained in high pressure tanks. Someday in the future, we might face space issues where airports are no longer possible to be expanded, due to high population and high demand of living areas. This is where the main feature of A350H airliner becomes very important, its ability to vertically takeoff doesn’t take a lot of space compared to conventional airliner.
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.
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.
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.

An RC model.
BAE has another interesting projects in vertical flight, after their technicians failed to make a "flying jeep".
If anyone is interested, here is a link with pics and videos:
Autogyro, or gyrocopter, a precursor of helicopters and STOL planes.
Invented by a spanish, btw.
An U.S. government project: VTOL X-PLANE.
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.
