Vertical starter VAK 191 B

The most modern vertical take-off aircraft in the western world, the VAK 191 B, developed by the German-Dutch aerospace company VFW-Fokker, will be at the Bremen airport on 13.09.1971. There, the machine completed its first test flight. It hovered for five minutes at a height of between 30 and 50 meters for a kilometer long over the terrain. The single-seat combat reconnaissance aircraft, which is used, among other things, for flight testing for the European multi-purpose combat aircraft MRCA, is being built in three prototypes. +++ (c) dpa - Report +++ | usage worldwide
