NASA's VTOL X-Plane

NASA's VTOL X-Plane is an experimental aircraft designed to explore new vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) technologies. Its goal is to develop efficient, quiet, and versatile aircraft that can take off and land vertically like a helicopter but fly faster and farther like a plane. By testing innovative propulsion systems and aerodynamics, NASA aims to improve urban air mobility and reduce congestion. The VTOL X-Plane serves as a platform for validating advanced concepts that could lead to safer, cleaner, and more flexible aerial transportation options in the future.
