    Vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) refers to aircraft that can take-off, hover, and land vertically. To this day, the Dornier Do-31 remains the largest VTOL jet to take to the skies and the world’s only VTOL jet lift transport.
    Throughout the 1960’s, several countries launched ambitious programs to develop VTOL jets. The promise of freeing jets from needing runways to operate offered huge military advantages. In the opening hours of a conflict, runways were going to be the first targets, potentially rendering entire air forces inoperable. But VTOL jets could operate without runways, using small forward operating bases to stage operations.
    Although Britain led the way with the development of the Harrier Jump Jet, Germany set out to build something even more ambitious, the world’s first vertical jet lift transport. The Do 31 would combine the speed and range of a jet with the versatility of a helicopter. A plane that could deliver supplies and personnel to remote forward operating bases and support forces out in the field.
    The Do 31 utilized two vectored-thrust turbofans and eight lift jets in wing-tip pods. Together the 10 jets could generate an incredible 66,000 pounds of thrust to facilitate vertical or short take-off and landing operations. In forward flight, the lift jets would be shut off and the Do 31 would fly like a conventional plane. The aircraft could reach speeds of over 700km an hour and carry 36 fully equipped troops or nearly six tons of cargo. An
    unprecedented combination of speed, range and lifting capacity.
    As development of the Do-31 progressed, some even saw the potential for vertical jet lift technology to revolutionize civil aviation. VTOL airliners would operate from helipads, maybe even directly from building rooftops. But developing the world’s first VTOL jet transport would be fraught with enormous technical challenges, and as the Cold War evolved, VTOL capable jets became less of a strategic priority. Despite numerous test flights and proof of concept, the project was ultimately cancelled in 1970.

      But scientifical-technical progress is not made by PhD but by people without PhD like Frank Whittle that put his private time, and secured private funding, in building the first practical working jet engine, despite being refused government funding on the advice of top scientist of the day like Griffith who told government that jet engines are not possible cause they breaking the laws of physics. This Griffith and many others like him gives PhD to paper eaters if they can afford one to this day. After gov saw the engine working they STOLE the patent by paying 1 GBP to Whittle who put more than a decade of his private time and gone full mental breakdown more than twice because of workload exhaustion, not to mention the PRIVATE money that made it real. He could have destroyed it or give it to another country why help parasites keep on being parasites.

    The actual deadly blow to the Do-31 was the heat of the lift-engines: Dornier found it impossible to keep the plane from severely damaging the runway, making it unable to run more than an few handful of flights before an airfield was as much in need for repairs as if it were bombed.

    • @TheWinjin
      @TheWinjin 년 전 +15

      Ooooof, I didn't think about that part. The video really skips over the negatives, huh? The intense heat and damage to the runway. Probably it also chugged jet fuel like three regular planes. I wonder if it could take off traditionally, using only the conventional engines? And would it be easier to make one today, with modern-day engines being probably lighter and smaller... Though it seems like it's a problem that doesn't really need fixing at the moment, piston-powered planes are somewhat back for short-term flights it seems to be

If only it was developed further the USA wouldn't have dumped idiot amounts of $$$ into the V22 Osprey which is SLOWER, Lifts FAR less, has A tiny fraction of the range, and costs FAR MORE MONEY. Stupid piece of garbage when we had superior tech in the 70's but was canceled... Still makes me pissed off to this day.

      When you see all these problematic projects and what is wrong about that, I prefer that not to be done.
      In that regard I do fully understand why our German defense minister decided to go for the F-18 Jets, as they are proven to be good.

      One of the innovations of the German VTOL program was the first development of “fly by wire” to automatically handle the hover, transition to forward flight and back again. The Harrier was quite difficult to transition. The German program allowed both for transport aircraft as well as supersonic which the Harrier couldn’t do. Technically it wasn’t a failure. Germany came under pressure to buy US weapons to compensate for US troops in Germany.
