 :huh

That is a pretty interesting plane there. I didn't know that they were anywhere near that close to vertical takeoff by that time.

By that time? It's a contemporary to the Harrier, both had their maiden flight in the same year.

I was not aware of that. I thought the majority of it was done in the mid 80's. Goes to show what I know about aircraft time-line.  :)

And ~7 years behind the first flight of the P.1127 and ~3 years behind the Kestral.

     I thought I'd seen something like that before.  At the USAF museum at Wright-Patterson.
The Bell Textron XV-3
