    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryan_XV-5_Vertifan

    The J85 and lift-fan combination was a precursor to developments which led to the first GE high BPR engine, the TF-39. [4] The lift fans were driven by turbine blades mounted around the periphery of the fan, with mass flow 13 times greater than the gas generators mass flow and increased thrust 3 times over that available using a propelling nozzle.

  3. List of VTOL aircraft - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_VTOL_aircraft

    This is a list of fixed-wing aircraft capable of vertical take-off and landing arranged under manufacturer. The list excludes helicopters, including compound helicopters and gyrocopters, because they are assumed to have this capability. For more detail on subtypes of VTOL, see List of tiltrotor aircraft

    The Bell V-280 Valor is a tiltrotor aircraft being developed by Bell Helicopter for the United States Army's Future Vertical Lift (FVL) program. [2] The aircraft was officially unveiled at the 2013 Army Aviation Association of America's (AAAA) Annual Professional Forum and Exposition in Fort Worth, Texas.

  5. Lift fan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lift_fan

    Lift fan is an aircraft configuration in which lifting fans are located in large holes in an otherwise conventional fixed wing [1] or fuselage. It is used for V/STOL operation. The aircraft takes off using the fans to provide lift, then transitions to fixed-wing lift in forward flight.

  6. Annular lift fan aircraft - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annular_lift_fan_aircraft

    The aircraft starts from a vertical flight, lifting the aircraft to a high altitude. Then, the aircraft begins to glide, with the total lift less than the weight. With the aid of the forward thrust acceleration, the aircraft quickly gains speed to the aerodynamic speed and then changes the angle of attack to 15° to start an aerodynamic flight.

  7. Rolls-Royce LiftSystem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolls-Royce_LiftSystem

    the rear of the F135 engine (nozzle rotated down) that powers the Rolls-Royce LiftSystem. Instead of using separate lift engines, like the Yakovlev Yak-38, or rotating nozzles for engine bypass air, like the Harrier, the "LiftSystem" has a shaft-driven LiftFan, designed by Lockheed Martin and developed by Rolls-Royce, [3] and a thrust vectoring nozzle for the engine exhaust that provides lift ...
