A vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft is one that can take off and land vertically without relying on a runway. This classification can include a variety of types of aircraft including helicopters as well as thrust-vectoring fixed-wing aircraft and other hybrid aircraft with powered rotors such as cyclogyros/cyclocopters and gyrodynes .

This is a list of fixed-wing aircraft capable of vertical take-off and landing arranged under manufacturer. The list excludes helicopters, including compound helicopters and gyrocopters, because they are assumed to have this capability.

2018年1月15日 · The idea of vertical flight has been around for thousands of years and sketches for a VTOL (helicopter) shows up in Leonardo da Vinci's sketch book. Manned VTOL aircraft, in the form of primitive helicopters, first flew in 1907 but …

The aircraft features that provide VTOL capability must not unduly compromise cruise performance. In general, achieving good cruise performance requires aerodynamic cleanness to minimize parasite drag, a wing

2023年7月20日 · The Yakovlev Yak-38 was the only VTOL jet fighter ever to make it into the Soviet military's arsenal and the USSR's first operational carrier-based fixed-wing aircraft. Designed in the 1960s, the...

Vertical flight enthusiasts recognize just a few of the names of great inventors that set the foundation for our great VTOL industry today. However, there are many individuals whose names are either forgotten or were never in the limelight of …

2018年1月12日 · Vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) craft require less physical space and infrastructure to get into the air compared to traditional planes. That means more fighters on...

2021年10月6日 · A Quick History of VTOL The first evidence we have for a vertical take-off and landing aircraft is in Leonardo da Vinci’s sketchbooks. Dubbed the Aerial Screw, it was a human-powered helicopter that theoretically would work.

2022年9月6日 · The notion of aircraft capable of vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) is as old as the idea of aviation itself and the Short SC.1 was the first major attempt. When Leonardo Da Vinci sketched his ideas for a flying machine in the 15 th century, he envisaged a VTOL aircraft.
