Borrowing a neat trick from the Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey, Spin Master has created a new RC plane that’s able to take off and land vertically at the push of a button.The Air Hogs Fury Jump Jet’s ...

The VTOL X-Plane aims to perform flight tests in 2018. The program sought a design that could hit a top sustained flight speed of 300-400 knots; achieve aircraft hover efficiency of at least 75 ...

VTOL X-Plane seeks to develop a technology demonstrator that could: * Achieve a top sustained flight speed of 300 kt-400 kt * Raise aircraft hover efficiency from 60 percent to at least 75 percent * ...

DARPA has completed flight-testing of a sub-scale version of a novel aircraft design as part of its vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) X-Plane program, and is proceeding with work to develop a ...

In the early 60s, there were several studies into creating the first mass-produced vtol aircraft. A plane that could operate like a jet, and then at the same time, land vertically where needed.

The X-Plane can rotate its wings and stabilizers downward and use that to lift off from the ground like a helicopter. Once it’s got enough height, the built-in jet can kick in and the wings ...

The Transwing is an awesomely unique aircraft that's part VTOL and part traditional airplane. The craft begins its flights with its wings tucked, in VTOL mode, Skip to main content ...

DARPA announced on Thursday that it had awarded the Phase 2 design contract for its unmanned VTOL X-Plane concept to Aurora Flight Sciences (AFS). VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) planes, like ...
