One of the most famous #British #MilitaryAircraft of the past few decades is the #Harrier, which was a vertical take-off and landing or #VTOL #Aircraft. Variants of it are used by some European countries as well as India and the United State Marines. The museum has several different versions.
Here is the classic aircraft. -

En minä muista Tyleriltä tähän hätään muita lauluja kuin It's a heartache. Ja eikös se taas ilmiselvästi tehty naispuoliseksi mukaelmaksi Rod Stewartin esittämästä Sailingistä ja hyödyntämään sen kaupallista menestystä? Katsottiinhan täälläkin BBC:n lentotukialuksesta kertovaa propagandasarjaa, jossa Sailing soi tunnarina.
(Taustatutkimukseni kertoo, että tuolla aluksella ei ollutkaan Hawker Harrier -VTOL-koneita, niin kuin aina olin muistellut.)

why not make your #quadcopter into a #vtol, by adding passive weight/wings?

and it kinda seems to work? adding like 50% flight time? fun! -
I don't say this very often: SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY.

Airports could stop wasting land by building underground passenger terminals, by encouraging the use of VTOL aircraft, and by implementing assisted take-off technologies for reducing runway length.

Guy designed and built a replica F-35 with VTOL ducted thrust

A less realistic, but maximally fun SSTO.
These tilt-engines are way more powerful and efficient than what I usually use in KSP, to the point where they probably are unrealistic af. That’s why I didn’t even bother with the TWR or dV this time. But having one part that can do a tilt engine is SO nice. If you want it to be a bit more realistic, I guess you can lower the thrust limiter.
Its very power hungry, but it comes with an internal nuclear reactor which has a heatsink slapped on to it. This way it can run for quite a long time before running out of juice. Some capacitors also help extending that time. The cargo bay doors can also act as radiators if opened.
The COM is very carefully balanced so this thing is stable both in horizontal and vertical flight, the RCS is centred and the docking port aligns with it reasonably well. (you can dock it to the front of a mothership and it won’t make it spin out of control. If you want to use the engines to propel the other ship though, you might spin)

El coche volador de Elon Musk que promete ser «inolvidable»
Elon Musk reveló en el popular podcast de Joe Rogan que espera presentar un prototipo funcional de coche volador antes de finalizar el año. Aunque el CEO de Tesla fue vago sobre los detalles técnicos, aseguró que el vehículo, que «parece un coche», contiene una tecnología «loca, loca». El anuncio busca desviar la atención de los continuos retrasos que sufre la producción del Tesla Roadster de segunda generación.
La conversación surgió cuando Joe Rogan preguntó sobre el estado del Tesla Roadster de segunda generación, un vehículo que se presentó en 2017 con una promesa de lanzamiento en 2020, pero cuya producción ha sido pospuesta repetidamente. Recientemente, Sam Altman, CEO de OpenAI, incluso comentó en redes sociales sobre las dificultades para recuperar el depósito que realizó en 2018.

En lugar de abordar a fondo el estatus del Roadster, Musk cambió el tema a la idea de los coches voladores, reflexionando sobre el comentario de Peter Thiel de que el futuro debería haberlos traído ya. Musk afirmó que, aunque no está seguro de que se deba llamar «coche», el vehículo que supuestamente está desarrollando contiene una tecnología extremadamente avanzada. Prometió una demostración del prototipo que será «inolvidable».
A pesar de la expectativa, el artículo recuerda que Elon Musk es conocido por ser ambicioso y optimista en exceso con sus plazos de tiempo, no solo para Tesla sino también para otras de sus empresas como SpaceX, citando el retraso de cinco años en el primer lanzamiento del Falcon Heavy. No obstante, la posibilidad de que se revele un prototipo, aunque sea uno que requiera cambios masivos antes de una posible producción, se mantiene.
