EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Entwicklungswing EWR Sud VJ-101C prototype, an unusual VTOL (Vertical Takeoff and Landing) design that graced the skies above Germany in 1966. The VJ-101C, with its distinctive appearance, was an experimental aircraft developed by EWR Sud (Eidgenössische Flugtechnische Versuchsanstalt Sud) as part of the German military's quest for a supersonic interceptor capable of vertical takeoff and landing. The aircraft's exterior is a marvel of engineering, with its unique design featuring a tilting Rolls-Royce RB-145 engine. During this test-flight hop, the engine was tilted to provide vertical thrust for takeoff, while its ability to pivot for forward flight allowed the VJ-101C to reach supersonic speeds. The VJ-101C was an intriguing departure from conventional aircraft design, and its unusual appearance belied the advanced technology within. The aircraft's exterior, with its sleek lines and futuristic detailing, hinted at the groundbreaking innovations that lay beneath. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the past, providing a window into the world of experimental aviation during the 1960s. The VJ-101C may not have seen commercial use, but its impact on the field of VTOL technology and aircraft design was significant. This photograph stands as a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the engineers and designers who dared to push the boundaries of what was possible.
