For long-term investors, aerospace leaders and aviation enthusiasts alike, VTOL could represent a significant opportunity.

With VTOL X-Planes, DARPA aims for a futuristic lift The Pentagon's purveyor of far-out ideas wants a new breed of aircraft that's good at both hovering and high-speed cruising.

The reason the Rockwell XFV-12 looks so futuristic and unlike the aircraft of its time is because that's exactly what it was.

“This VTOL X-plane won’t be in volume production in the next few years but is important for the future capabilities it could enable,” Bagai said. “Imagine electric aircraft that are more ...

DARPA's VTOL X-Plane program aims to bolster the vehicles' top sustained flight speeds, increase their ability to hover, and ensure that the planes can transport heavier loads.

Already on display in military aircraft like the Osprey-22, VTOL aircraft could theoretically eliminate the need for runways and run quieter than your typical airliner.

A future is possible where they will be able to respond to emergencies far better than they can today, thanks to robocars and other future technologies like e-VTOL aircraft.

DARPA is looking to make "radical improvements" to futuristic-looking, helicopter-type vehicles that are designed to take off, hover and land vertically.
