Are there reasons this fly lengthwise? Can't it be made like a boolean of rocket and katana and flown sideways?

- freeqaz 3y agoI think it does fly sideways when it is at speed. It's just VTOL when gaining speed altitude. (That is my takeaway from watching the video)
- numpad0 3y agoI mean, like B-2 standing on one wingtip. Like a giant vertical stabilizer. Takeoff with downward reverse thrust, roll and switch to rear-facing exhaust to fly, roll back into knife-edge flight on approach. Velocity vector movement could look less scary than with tail-sitters if works.
