Nice video, but it should be called, Vertical landing aircraft, The Harrier and the rest......Mind you I am biased, I was an engine technician on them for almost ten years. You cannot even imagine the feeling of doing a full power run up and then slamming the nozzles in to hover. Max chat with them aft the aircraft is trying to shake your eyeballs out, one swift movement and you are on a cushion of air and all is smoother than a Kashmir codpiece......And before anyone points it out, the aircraft is fixed to the run up box with chains that would have not been out of place on a battleship.
