Notes

Summary: Vertical Take-off Aircraft Ingenious machines that require no runway include military helicopters and jump jets, autogyros, drones and the Boeing V-22 Osprey, both plane and helicopter. They can hover and manoeuvre cleverly, too, while the brilliant Lunar Module of 1969 even landed men on the Moon! These machines pack some punchy records: highest helicopter rescue, tallest rocket, fastest jump jet and more.
Feats of flight.
