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 ...

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.

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

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 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.

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.

* Following World War 2, there was considerable interest in vertical take-off aircraft, with one branch of research in the field focusing on machines with tilting rotors, props, or ducted fans; and on machines with tilting wings. This document provides a history and description of pioneering tiltrotors, tiltducts, and tiltwings.

2023年6月13日 · A double-sonic tiltjet. After some successful experimenting with the Model 65 ATV VTOL prototype in the early 1950s, Bell was ready to design something more profound. So, in 1955, the company was selected for the development of a …

The Bell D-188A (unofficial military designations XF-109 / XF3L) was a proposed eight-engine Mach 2–capable vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) tiltjet fighter that never proceeded past the mock-up stage.
