The Evolution and Impact of VTOL Aircraft

Airplanes are wonderful things. They fly through the air and move people and goods at rapid speeds around the world. 

However, they have some downsides. In order to take off and land, an airplane requires an enormous amount of land for runways. 

So, for over a century, aeronautical engineers have been trying to create a vehicle that has all the strengths of an airplane but could take off and land like a helicopter.

….and they’ve kind of done it. 

Learn more about vertical take-off and landing aircraft and the challenges in designing them on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
