A tiltjet is an aircraft propulsion configuration that was historically tested for proposed vertical take-off and landing (VTOL)-capable fighters. [1]

The EWR VJ 101 was an experimental West German jet fighter vertical takeoff/landing (VTOL) 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.

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-104 G Starfighter, but was cancelled in 1968 after a five-year test program.

The EWR VJ101C was an experimental German jet fighter Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) tiltjet aircraft. VJ stood for "Versuchsjäger" (German for "Experimental Fighter"). It was the prototype for a planned supersonic VTOL successor to the F-104G Starfighter.

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.

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.

A tiltjet is an aircraft propulsion configuration that was historically tested for proposed Vertical Take-off and Landing (VTOL)-capable fighters. 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 their ...

2023年11月24日 · A tiltjet aircraft is similar in concept to a tiltrotor design. Whereas a tiltrotor utilises rotors, the tiltjet employs jet engines with the entire propulsion system being rotated from axial to dorsal in order to achieve a transition from hover or …
