VTVL (Vertical Takeoff Vertical Landing)

Vertical Takeoff Vertical Landing (VTVL) refers to a type of aircraft or spacecraft designed to take off and land in a vertical position, without needing a runway. This capability allows for operations in confined spaces or rough terrain. VTVL vehicles work by using powerful engines to lift straight up for takeoff and then lower themselves vertically to the ground for landing. This technology is commonly used in some drones and rocket systems, like SpaceX’s Falcon 9, which lands vertically after delivering payloads into space. VTVL is advantageous for flexibility and accessibility in various environments.
