List of "VTOL" (Vertical Take-off and Landing) aircraft

This is a list of fixed-wing aircraft capable ofvertical take-off and landing arranged under manufacturer. The list excludeshelicopters, includingcompound helicopters andgyrocopters, because they are assumed to have this capability.

For more detail on subtypes of VTOL, seeList of tiltrotor aircraft.

This is adynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help byediting the page to add missing items, with references toreliable sources.
