Ne znam dali ste znaele za ovoj proekt za prviot avion (bombarder) so vertikalno poletuvanje od 1944, Germanskiot "DRAGONFLY":
THE FOCKE-WULF TRIEBFLUGEL VERTICAL ATTACK X-PLANE
Without doubt, one of the most unusual fighter projects to be devised during the life of the Third Reich was the Focke-WuFW Triebflugel (rotating wing fighter) created by Professor von Holst and Dr. Kuchemann, of the Gottingen Technical University. Erich von Holst had participated at the Saalflugwettbewerb (Indoor Flying Scale-Model Competition) held at Breslau in 1940, where he demonstrated his model, identified as the Libelle (Dragonfly). he also referred to his creation as the Schwingenflugzeug Ornithoper, flapping wing aircraft).
The outstanding fighter performance data, compiled on September 9, 1944, greatly surprised RLM officials: length was 30 ft (9.15 m), with a maximum takeoff weight of only 11,355 lb (5,150 kg); the rate of climb at sea level had been calculated at 410 ft/sec (125 m/s), and at 22,965 ft (7,000 m) a rate of 164 ft/sec (50 m/s). The anticipated maximum speed was 575 mph (925 km/h) at sea level and 419 mph (675 km/h) at 45,930 ft (14,000 m). The proposed armament consisted of either two MK 103s (100 rpg) and two MG 151/20s (250 rpg), or four modern high power MK 213s installed on either side of the pressurized cabin
...the story of the world's first attempt at perfecting a true, tail-sitting vertical take off and landing (VTOL) interceptor flying machine - Focke-Wulf Flugzeugbau's proposed "Triebflugeljager" or thrust wing fighter project of 1944. The "Triebflugeljager" was not intended to be an air-superiority dogfighter, but a bomber killer rising straight up from its hiding place in the forest or urban area to meet and attack Allied bombers head on.With its mission completed it would return to its hiding place on the forest floor and wait to arise again.The "Triebflugeljager" would have been a point-defense interceptor intended for the Luftwaffe home defense squadrons and its most important virtue was that it would not need a runway.Highy unusual, then as well as today, the "Triebflugeljager" was an amazing prototype.
