Test Plane Performs Vertical Landing
by Susana Polo | 12:32 pm, March 20th
STOVL (Short Take Off and Vertical Landing) planes have been in development and use since 1951, though only two planes have ever reached operational status. On Thursday, Lockheed Martin‘s F-35 Lightning II test plane made its very first vertical landing.
To quote the late, great Douglass Adams: It “hung in the air in exactly the same way that bricks don’t.”
