- stretchcat 6y agoThe article mentions they were VTOL, e.g. vertical take off and landing. They were to land vertically on their tails. It's not a very good idea, particularly with the technology of the time, but a few projects were experimenting with it. The X-13 Vertijet is an example from the 1950s.
