Dornier DO 31, Twin Engine Jet, Tilt Wing, VTOL, Prototype, milestone of flight, 1967, 1960s
This was Germany's attempt at the tiltwing concept to mitigate the destruction of airports and runways in a war. Amazingly enough this aircraft did fly and proved the concept of a tiltwing, but it was to cumbersome to be practical and the concept was canceled in the late 1960s.
