A tiltjet is an aircraft propulsion configuration that was historically tested for proposed vertical take-off and landing (VTOL)-capable fighters. [ 1 ] The tiltjet arrangement is, in concept, broadly similar to that of the tiltrotor ; whereas a tiltrotor utilises pivotable rotors, the tiltjet employs jet engines capable of moving to angle ...

This category contains VTOL aircraft whose primary means of vertical flight is derived from a tiltjet configuration.

The EWR VJ 101 was an experimental West German jet fighter vertical takeoff/landing tiltjet aircraft. VJ stood for Versuchsjäger, (German for "Experimental Fighter"). [1] The 101 was one of the first V/STOL designs to have the potential for eventual Mach 2 flight.

2023年6月25日 · A six-engine tiltjet. Just like the French with their Dassault Balsac V experimental jump jet, Germans chose to skip the laborious phase of engine development and resorted to using British technology instead. The VJ 101 was powered by six Rolls-Royce RB.145 turbojets produced in cooperation with German MAN-Turbomotoren company.

The EWR VJ 101 was an experimental German jet fighter VTOL tiltjet aircraft. VJ stood for "Versuchsjäger", (German for "Experimental Fighter"). [1] It was to be the basis for a successor to the F-104G Starfighter, but was cancelled in 1968 after a five-year test program.

2019年3月1日 · The Bell Model 65 Air Test Vehicle (ATV) was an experimental tiltjet VTOL aircraft built by Bell using parts from a number of commercial aircraft. Bell used the fuselage of a Schweizer 1-23 glider with the wing of a Cessna 170 and the landing gear of a Bell 47 helicopter.

2021年8月4日 · Planes ranging from a small Cessna to a giant Boeing 747 are known as fixed-wing aircraft, and feature propellers or jet engines to give them thrust. They need runways to …

The Germans liked the tiltjet concept and followed it up. By mid-1958, Heinkel had roughed out the configuration of the "He 231" tiltjet fighter, attracting the interest of the German government. Since development of a VTOL fighter promised to be a challenge for a single firm, the West German government encouraged Heinkel, Boelkow, and ...
