apart from the harrier jump jet is there anymore jet capable of V.T.O.L?

Answer 1

The J.S.F. for the U.S. Marines will be V.T.O.L. capable. (reportedly)

Answer 2

Yes, the JSF (British name Lightning II) will have VTOL capability.

In current and previous service, the Russian Navy have a much less capable equivalent to the Harrier, the Yak 38 Forger and the Yak 141 Freestyle.

There's one transport aircraft with VTOL capability, the V-22 Osprey, an American design. It's wingtip engines point forwards for horizontal flight and upwards for vertical flight/hovering, giving it the capability of both a transport plane and a helicopter. It is a jet, as it has turboprop engines, which are jet engines with props on the front.

hope this helps.

Answer 3

yes , there are many, including many derivatives of the harrier itself.
Most are of equal ability, but none reached commercial viability.
It is a very old and obsolete aircraft , especially since the end of the cold war.It was specifically designed for a euro-soviet conflict.
it was much revered during the falklands conflict although it was no match for migs or french built mirage flown by argentina.British air superiority was entirely dependent on american supplied sidewinder air to air missiles.
The aircraft is still used for combat training and the sea harrier hasnt found a suitable replacement for use on light carriers.

Answer 4

Yeah there's the new F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF). Built by mainly UK and USA. Uses I think a variant of the original Peragus engine built for the Harrier.

Answer 5

The V-22 is Russian? Wow, I didn't kow that.

The Opsrey is a jet, it just happens to have propellors hooked to the turbines by means of torque shafts.

My apologoes to robert p, I couldn't understand the broken English.
