Vtols
VTOL stands for Vertical Take-Off and Landing. It refers to aircraft capable of vertical take-off and landing directly beneath them, without needing a runway. This capability allows them to operate from confined spaces such as ships, small clearings, or urban environments. VTOL aircraft achieve this through various mechanisms, including tilting rotors, ducted fans, or direct thrust from engines pointed downwards.
The concept of VTOL has been explored for decades, with early designs appearing in the mid-20th century.
There are several types of VTOL configurations. Tiltrotor aircraft, like the V-22 Osprey, have engines and rotors
Challenges associated with VTOL aircraft include increased complexity, higher fuel consumption during vertical operations, and greater
